On November 6th, we all have some big decisions to make as we decide on the next President of the United States. One decision you shouldn’t have to make is how you’ll get to the polls.
That’s why Uber is teaming up with Rock the Vote to offer Chicago Voters a FREE(DOM) TAXI RIDE to their polling place.
Simply enter the promo code VOTECHI, select the TAXI option in Uber’s iPhone or Android app (or via m.uber.com) and your cab will arrive in minutes. The discount will be available during voting hours on November 6th (6am-7pm). With the ease of Uber’s service, you’ll feel like we’re bringing the ballot to you!
A few things to keep in mind:
- One FREE(DOM) TAXI ride is available for each Uber account holder that enter the promo code VOTECHI. For more info on how to enter a Promo Code, click here.
- The Uber trip must begin or end at a Chicago Polling Location and is valid between 6am and 7pm on Tuesday, November 6.
- The first $20.12 of your trip will be FREE, and any amount exceeding $20.12 will be charged to your card on file.
- The FREE RIDE requires an Uber account and use of Uber’s iPhone/Android app or m.uber.com mobile web request.
- While Uber has hundreds of TAXIs that connect to its system, the drivers do have other business too, so be patient if your first request isn’t fulfilled. TAXIs will be opening up every few minutes, so keep checking the app.
