Well, my boss is travelling for business next month, and one of my coworkers was trying to talk him into taking Uber over renting a car (don't know whether or not he succeeded), so I can totally buy that Uber is eating into rental cars.
Honestly, I'm fine with it. I don't have a car, and the all my transportations needs are met by a combination of Lyft and public transit (ultimately, it's cheaper and probably faster to take the train downtown). I'm fine with everything else going away.
- ghaff 11y agoI suppose that UberX specifically drops the price point a bit but my personal rent a car vs. get a ride calculus for trips doesn't really change with Uber and I don't think it would for most people. If I'm flying to an airport and just need to head into a city like San Francisco where a car would just be parked until my return, I'll get a cab/Uber or, if there's a good option like BART, public transportation. If I'm going somewhere that's more spread out like the South Bay and can't easily get between hotel, restaurants, work sites without a car, I'll typically rent.
