If you are already an UBER user, it is normal for you to request their services from your smartphone. But you will not always have your phone at hand, it can be discharged, turned off, lost or something else happen to it. For these cases in which you need to ask for a UBER and you don’t have your phone, UBER has set up a website where you can do it, how? Pay attention to this article and you will know how UBER works and how to use the application from the comfort of your home or office.
How to order an Uber from your PC
First of all, you must bear in mind that to request an UBER from your PC, you must be previously registered and have an account in the app. Don’t you have one? Signing up is easy, all you have to do is:
- Enter your first and last name.
- Enter your phone number.
- Put your email account.
- Create a password of your choice.
Once you have an account in the app or if you already had one, now you can order your UBER easily and quickly from the comfort of your PC, by doing the following:
- Regardless of the model or brand of your PC, you must be connected to the internet and search for the official UBER website.
- You must allow it to access your location by enabling GPS. To do this you must click on “Use location services”. After this, a map will appear.
- Now you must carefully indicate the place where you want to be picked up and the destination where you want to arrive. It is important to note that the moment you allow detection of your location, it is saved as the place where you will be picked up. To be picked up from another location, you must manually change the location.
- Once you have entered specifically where you want the driver to pick you up and where you are going, you will automatically get a list of different types of UBER at your disposal and the individual rate for each car. Choose which one you would like to travel on and the one that suits your pocket.
- Now, you have to choose the payment method, to pay the UBER driver, in cash or by card (if you choose by card, at the end of your trip the cost will be recharged to your bank account).
- Once you have completed the steps, you must be 100% sure that the data you entered is correct, and finally click on the “confirm” button.
Monitor the operation from your PC
After you carry out these simple steps, you will be able to see from the PC the moment in which a driver accepts your trip, in the same way that it is done in the application. You’ll also be able to review car and driver information.
A text message is automatically sent to your phone with this information. If you do not have it at hand, write down what is related to the driver (license plate number and car model), so that you avoid confusion. Finally, wait for your UBER at the previously agreed meeting point and on time to avoid surcharges and that’s it!
Advantages of requesting an UBER from the PC
The advantages for you will be numerous, since, for example, if you do not have your cell phone at hand, you will not be left without UBER, but you can do it with your PC, UBER account and internet access. Also, you will have the same services offered in the app, such as access to your location, driver information, payment, among others. And what is more, doing all this will not take you more than 30 minutes, because it is a process with a high level of simplicity and quick to do.
Have you noticed how easy it is to order an UBER from your PC? When you don’t have the phone at hand and you can’t order the UBER from there, you’re ready to do it from your PC. You can even request an UBER for another person from your home or office, quickly and without complications. When requesting an UBER from the website, no more money will be required, it will be the same as requesting it from the application.
