sm1mex Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I downloaded the Uber app and it said to put in my number. I did and pressed next. I immediately got a text saying We don't monitor responses on this number. I have a telcel plan and I put in my telcel phone number. what am I doing wrong?

ComputerGuy Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 i think the one person doing Uber locally, who lives in Ixtlahuacan, gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I figured out you first have to create an account with Uber. I am not going to use it here, but when traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el bartman Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Exactly. My experience mirrors yours. I've had no problem but haven't yet used my account from GDL to here as I don't know where the OXXO is to be picked up. Will look tomorrow. Haven't tried to use it from here to airport so please post if you have success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeborahM Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Virtually impossible to hire an uber driver from here to the airport, but easy from the airport to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 I created an account and will use it while in traveling. Cheaper than taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 So how do you arrange for an Uber at the airport, Deborah? Do you do it before you leave wherever you are coming from? Because after landing here, wouldn't you be up for a loooong wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Normally a 3 or 4 minute wait for uber at airport. They pick you up at the oxxo in front of arrivals.opposite the normal taxi rank. Just download the app to your phone.shows where taxis are and informs you when they are arriving.also details of driver and contact. Unfortunately nothing from here to airport.

El Cartero Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Barcelo, is the oxxo in front of international or domestic arrival? I usually hit the airport in the wee hours and must be to old, dumb or sleepy to have seen it! It's like in the parking lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yes its the one in the parking lot. Think its domestic arrivals.! But uber will pick you up on the main road between oxxo and the terminal. Basically opposite where you take the normal taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 You reply for a Uber pick is rather vague. When you first say PU at the OXXO, then between OXXO and terminal, question have you done it? Humping your bags to the OXXO could be a no go for me and many people. The congestion at the airport also adds more complication for offloading and pick up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 OK - did it! Local driver to airport, Uber return. To, used Cesar 333-475-2518 as per recommendations from this board. Great guy, nice car, friendly, bilingual and a reasonable rate 400 pesos. Did this because I am frankly sick and tired of the usual group of drivers usurious fees. Return - walked out of the terminal, used my uber app, 5:45 in the morning, 6 minutes driver was there with his uberX and 246 pesos to Ajijic. Great experience and the info from this board put me at the right place in front of OXXO, I would have screwed around for quite a bit without that info. But Uber on app showed exact place to be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
