Uber in Des Moines
 

Has anyone used it? I have only used Uber in larger cities. How is the service here?

Since no one responded I will provide my own Uber DSM review from last week's trip.

Used Uber 8 times. 4 different drivers. I quizzed my first driver about the number of Uber drivers in DSM to learn if I would have any trouble getting rides from non-downtown locations. He offered to be "in the vicinity" for the times I needed rides. So my first 5 rides were with one driver.

Never waited more than 5 minutes for a ride. All drivers were great as were their vehicles (no surprise there, Uber runs a tight ship).

Was a bit concerned that getting to the airport on Friday morning might be a problem since I was leaving my hotel at 4:45 AM, but there was a car within 5 minutes.

@captiveguru, I could have sworn I replied to your original message...

I see your uber experience in DSM was good. My experiences with Uber have been similar to yours. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes. The trip from downtown to the airport is always fast and friendly, and best of all costs less than a cab that might take 30 minutes to show up.

Have you ever tried to catch a ride from West Des Moines or Clive?

No, I've never tried to catch a ride from WDM or Clive.
