How Much Does Uber Ski Cost?

Uber Ski comes with a flat rate of $8 which you would not have to pay with other services such as UberX. However, after this, the journey is charged by the mile or minute in the same way as other services provided by Uber. The cost of your journey will be estimated within the app upon request. 

Can UberXL Take Skis?

UberXL is not bound to take skis although, for the most part, you should be able to fit your skis into a minivan or other large vehicle. UberXL is a service that provides seating for up to six people. That said, if you are traveling in groups of more than three, this service will likely not provide the room you need for all of your gear, depending on how much you have. 

Uber Ski Summary

Uber ski is a fantastic service that is easy to use and aims to help skiers access ski resorts with their gear in a way that a regular ride service would not be able to owe to a lack of space. The service does come with an additional charge of $8 but everything is laid out clearly when you request the ride in the Uber ski app.
