Uberx is the cheapest option for a ride, but Uber El-Amin explains that this doesn’t necessarily mean it will be the cheapest in all situations. “The upfront price may eventually turn out to be relatively high.”
Normal Uber services are determined by your destination and traffic conditions and operate similarly to traditional taxis. These rates are usually considerably higher than those offered by UberX, which tends to cost more during peak hours because of demand. Additionally, the company offers carpooling (Uber Pool) as an alternative service during slower hours at reduced rates or for cars with multiple seats/doors.
