Ride-sharing services are popular right now, but you should stay wary of the risks involved in choosing them over proven transport services. It can be hard or even impossible to be sure of your safety when you order an Uber for your Chicago trip, which is why Signature Transport’s chauffeurs offer car service of guaranteed quality. We employ only the most diligent drivers who are thoroughly vetted, which is a promise a service like Lyft or Uber simply can’t match.

Why Should You Be Wary of Using Uber?

Amateur taxi services such as Uber or Lyft appear alluring and convenient on the surface, but there are a few reasons why you might want to be cautious of their easy approach:

  • Drivers Are Only Drug-tested Once a Year: Despite operating as a ride sharing service since 2009, Chicago Uber drivers have only been required to be drug-tested as recently as 2014.

  • Drivers Aren’t Vetted for Their Knowledge Of Chicago: Uber doesn’t take into consideration whether or not their drivers have any familiarity with the streets they’ll be driving you down, so they may even have no familiarity with Chicago streets and geography.

  • Uber Doesn’t Sufficiently Screen Drivers: Background checks for potential Uber drivers are disturbingly easy, meaning that criminals can slip through the cracks with no repercussions.

  • Uber Charges Extra for a “Safe Ride: Uber customers pay a surcharge of one dollar on top of every ride just to guarantee safety, which should be an inherent part of any responsible chauffeur service.

  • Their Terms of Service Work Against the Customer: Uber’s terms of service absolve them of any responsibility in the event of danger to you, the passenger, assuming that you will be completely responsible for every risk they expose you to.
