Uber and Rollators

[StarGirl11]

I was hoping someone on here has had an experience with this. I've taken Uber several times but when I go to California in two weeks it will be the first time I've travelled with the rollator and also planning to use Uber to maybe get a few places.

I'm guessing I want to know what I'm getting in to and expect. I probably could take a regular taxi but I know at least here Uber is much cheaper to take then a traditional taxi (45 dollars to the airport vs 60-70 in a regular taxi). So at some point I'm going to have to face this whether in November or in December when I head out east for Christmas vacation.

Thanks in advance.

I use Lyft a lot through a paratransit program. I've never had any trouble traveling with a rollator. Most drivers are very helpful, but you may find you have to stow it yourself.

There's a thread for Über/Lyft on the Transportation Forum.

I take uber often with my rollator. Some trunks are a little tighter than others but as long as I've folded my handles in I've never had a problem with it not fitting. If the driver bothers to help (rarely) I tip them a dollar or two because it is bulky/awkward to handle and that's going above their usual responsibilities.
