My first Uber ride was after a nights stay in a hospital. My friend and I ordered the ride on his phone. Since it was our first ride, we upgraded to a 'nicer' car. The driver was existing driver-for-hire with what looked like an existing taxi license.
The GPS was rough, our driver ended up pretty far from the hospital pick up area. To be fair, we had no idea which road we were on either so directing them was less than easy.
The ride itself was comfortable, had free water, got home safe. Was a little too worn out to notice anything interesting or exciting.
