I think countrywayboy's concern should be taken seriously though. Uber Drivers don't carry proper insurance. Private insurance companies forbid driving for profit. You need to have commercial insurance and it's way too expensive for the average driver. They have something that might appear real but I've heard way too many horror stories and yet to hear them paying a single dime to anyone in an accident.
They say they'll only pay as long as the drivers insurance is valid. However, if the drivers insurance cancels them due to violating their policy then said insurance is no longer valid. It's a real catch 22. Then it will be up to the lawyers to figure out.
Not to mention ignoring any and all regulations and treating their drivers like shit. I'm still totally amazed that Uber is allowed to operate in any area when clearly they're doing it illegally. Everyone has this look the other way policy because lets face it. It's cheap.
