Sample Pitch What to say when introducing friends to Uber Uber is a SMART phone application. It connects you with a personal driver at the push of a button. All of these moving icons are drivers who are ready to pick us up right now, as soon as I request a ride, and it would only take them an average of 3 minutes to get here. The app already has my payment information, so I don t have to worry about paying the driver, or tipping, it takes care of that automatically! If you d like to download the app right now, go ahead and signup using my promo code XYZ for a FREE first ride up to R100!
Questions about Uber What you need to know Is there an annual/monthly fee for signing up? Nope! Signing up and riding with Uber doesn t require a membership fee. May I reserve your service in advance? Right now, we're still exclusively on-demand. I would recommend opening the app well before you need to ride to get a sense of ETAs so that you can schedule accordingly. May I request multiple cars from my account? We do not yet have the ability to accept requests for multiple cars from a single Uber account. If you need more than one car, have one of your friends sign up and then request a car from their phone. Can I request a car for someone else from my account? No problem! Just be sure to request your pickup at the appropriate location and give the driver a quick call to let them know they'll be picking up someone else instead of you. Another option is to have your friend sign up for their own Uber account which will allow them to communicate directly with their driver. Should I tip my driver? Being Uber means there is no need to tip. We charge your credit card directly, so there's no need to hand any payment to the driver. How many people can you fit into a vehicle? Uber holds up to four passengers in UberX and UberBLACK, 6 passengers in UberXL and up to 7 passengers in UberVan.
FAQ s Your questions answered Why do you need my credit card information? I am afraid to have my card on file. Uber is meant to be a cashless service everything is easily facilitated through the app. Your credit card information is not kept on file, but rather stored securely with Braintree, our payment gateway. They handle the processing of any refund / charge for us. Is there an age limit? Registered users must be at least 18 years of age. Is Uber just a Joburg thing? Nope! Uber was started in 2010 in San Francisco and today we re active in over 200 cities, and 45 countries worldwide. The list of cities is growing, so check uber. com for new launches! What are your hours of operation? We're pretty much available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, coverage can be limited between 1 am and 4 am on weekdays. What is surge pricing? When we expect demand to be so extreme we can't possibly have enough supply to fulfill, we raise prices during periods of peak demand (parts of the weekend, big events, etc.) so we can maximize the number of cars on the system. When demand eases and cars become more available, prices go back down. Asked a tough question? Encourage rider to email Uber directly at support@uber.com

FAQ s Some final points about the program How many first trips do I need to generate before I can get paid? In order to receive the R30 cash for every first trip generated on your code, you will need to receive at least 15 first trips. I know my friend signed up with my code. Will this count as a first trip? No. This will only reflect on your performance once your friend takes his/her first trip. What if I don t make this amount? Will my first trips carry over to the next month? No. Your first trips do not carry over to the next month. On the 1st of each month we will evaluate your performance for the month prior. I didn t receive my unique promo code, what now? You should receive this within 24 hours of completing the registration form. If not, please email us at info@instantgrass.com and we will get this to you ASAP! Can I view my performance at any stage? Yes. You can email us directly at info@instantgrass.com What are promotional materials and how can I access them? Promotional materials portray your unique promo code and include direct mailers and social media content for you to share with friends.
