The private car ride company has been hugely popular with providing a driver when you’re on the street and need an immediate ride. Now, with its expanded service, Uber will send a car when you call for future needs from 30 minutes to 30 days.

So far, the new service is limited to several cities. As it becomes available in more locations, riders can make contact thru the app UberX. At the time of the rider’s call, a fee estimate will be quoted. However, as usual, rates will depend on time of day, location, major city events and other factors that may influence prices.
