Swap of the Day: Get Your Own Private Driver

Black private carDitch the taxi – swap your regular ride and arrive at your destination in style with your very own (temporarily at least) private driver.  How you ask?

Thanks to Uber, private drivers are no longer just for the upper echelon of society. Uber is the VIP private driver service that allows members to request a car from any mobile phone via text message or mobile app.  Minutes later a sleek black car appears at your doorstop to pick you up and drive you to wherever you please.

Paying is even easier, as the service just charges the ride, tip included, straight to your credit card on file.  And, it’s not as outrageously expensive as you might think either!

Sadly, the on demand black car service is only currently available in San Francisco and New York for now, but we’re sure hoping they expand soon!
