How To Request A Ride From Uber?
Step1: Download Uber App from your phone from your home country to avoid delays at the airport.
Step 2: Set up payment methods with Uber at your home country to avoid delays at airport
Uber Supports payments in 4 ways. If you’re new to Uber, We strongly recommend that you set up a viable payment method before coming to Canada with bank cards from your home country.
Also feel free to set up your PayPal account (https://www.paypal.com/) in case credit or debit from your home country doesn’t function.
Step 3: Open Your Uber App at airport to request a car:
Uber’s normally take less than 15 minutes for a pick up. If you’re not present at the chosen pick up location when your driver arrives, they may not wait for you and leave. If you miss your ride or they cancel, you’ll need to request another ride and may encounter a charge by Uber as well. Please request your Uber after you pick your luggages and are located outside of the airport terminal on the side roads.
