On Wednesday, December 2, 2015, Uber is set to soft launch in Metro Cebu, making it the 2nd city for Uber Philippines. Uber is a smartphone application that allows riders with smartphones to book a trip request which is then routed to the closest available Uber partner/driver. Uber is operating in 357 cities in 67 countries in 6 continents all around the world.

There will be limited vehicles on the road for a little while - but don't worry, Uber Cebu Team is working hard each day to get more cars on the road.

Here’s how to snatch yourself a safe, stylish, reliable ride with Uber:

1. Register an account here.
2. Download the Uber app on your smartphone via the App Store on iOs, Android, & BB phones.
3. Select your pickup location in the Uber app and your private chauffeur will arrive within minutes.
4. Uber is cashless and convenient. Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card (or debit card) on file and Uber will also e-mail you a receipt.
5. Use promo code “ubercebu” when you sign up and get a FREE first ride up to ₱200.

UPDATE (December 1, 2015): Due to delayed release of Provisional Authority (PA) from LTFRB, Uber's soft launch will be postponed until further notice. Without the PA, Uber vehicles can not operate as it will be a colorum.

2nd UPDATE (December 2, 2015): Finally, Uber Cebu will soft launch tomorrow, December 3, 2015. Book a ride starting 8 o'clock in the morning!
