Uber is a platform that connects riders and drivers to coordinate rides, similar to a taxi cab company. Unlike a taxi company, however, Uber allows you to use your smartphone when you need a ride by downloading and utilizing their app. Uber determines the price of each ride on the type of car and the time and distance of the trip. You put in the pick up and drop off address when booking. It may also adds a premium charge when rides are in high demand, known as surge pricing but will alert you when this is the case. For example, a surge multiplier of 2.0 means your ride will cost twice as much as it normally would.
The Uber app has a functionality to allow you prebook an Uber for a specific date and time if you’d like to utilize that function.

There is a bunch of places to stay within Calgary. The following are 3 hotels within close distance to our wedding venue. The Courtyard is roughly a $25-30 uber ride to our venue. Deerfoot casino is roughly $30-40 uber ride so the closest options to the venue for hotels. *rough estimate is subject to change and high volume during summer may affect the charges*
Probably the closest hotel to our venue. This hotel is in the Deep South of Calgary. Across the street is a Save On, Shoppers, Boston Pizza, Tims etc. It is also within walking distance to Sam's brothers bar called the Tommyfield Gastro Pub (which you have to try their Cesar that comes with a mini chicken sandwich) on the skewer (its basically a meal).
