Anyone going to try this/think it's worth considering Clipsal this weekend and Fringe period is on.

Too unpredictable, you get both uber x and vino, which means after working 5 hours you could have a request for vino.

Also, wine tours and tasting means loud and sick. Good pay though, they should have done this over the January period when it was quieter, and summer.

I've opted in, but will only accept jobs if they come at a convenient time.

I don't think people being sick would be an issue.. and it's nice driving up in the hills. Pay is good especially because it's 10am to 4pm which would generally be a base fare period so is an opportunity to make more.

I have also opted in

Not opted in myself I can afford to commit to such a large block of time

 

[Wabbit-169]

living in the hills I have opted in and see how it goes..... if it goes at all!

Just an update.....had none of these over the weekend.... I think people more interested in going to the race or fringe!

Is this a UberBlack service exclusively?

 

[Wabbit-169]

I'm UberX and was invited to join.

 

[Thexder]

Does it mean you get paid waiting around while they taste or only while they are driving?

 

[Wabbit-169]

yes you keep the "meter" running so to speak..... at $39 per hour (from memory).... I'm yet to get a ping for one tho!

 

[Wabbit-169]

So did anyone on here do any Ubervino? I ddint get one! Tho I did let numerous riders know about it (coming from the hills area myself)

 

[Nick79]

Can you register for this or do you have to be invited?

No, I didn't. I was invited, but declined the invitation.
I notice it (UberVino) has now been removed from the rider app.
Did they close it down? Perhaps there was lack of interest.

living in the hills I thought it might of been a good one to get on..... latest email from Tom suggests it was successful so maybe they had two rides?

I quote "This March, we ran uberVINO, our version of an SA wine tour, and it was a huge hit with riders!"

Sheeeesh!!
Who is Tom?

edit:
Never mind the question re Tom. I just read his email too.

........our version of an SA wine tour, and it was a huge hit with riders!
The best bit?
Über has partnered with SAPOL to allow drivers to also indulge in our vignerons' delights as long as their blood alcohol level remains below 0.10 whilst on an uberVINO trip.

edit:

Just kidding about the blood alcohol level
