Can you use Uber if you only have wifi?

Okay, so you’re wondering if you can use Uber with just Wi-Fi? Let me tell you, been there, done that!

Seriously, yes! You absolutely can. I mean, think about it – what if your cell service is, like, totally non-existent? Ever been in that situation? I have, plenty of times! And Uber on Wi-Fi has been a lifesaver.

Here’s how it usually goes for me: I find some sweet, sweet Wi-Fi – maybe at a coffee shop, or even just hopping onto a free network (carefully, of course!). Then, bam! Open up the Uber app. As long as you’re connected, the app loads up just fine, you can see where the cars are, and you can order your ride like normal.

I remember this one time in Rome, actually. My international data plan was being a total jerk, and I was stranded near the Colosseum. Thankfully, there was a cafe with Wi-Fi nearby. I just sat down, ordered a coffee (mandatory, right?), and used their Wi-Fi to grab an Uber back to my hotel. Saved my life, I swear!

So yeah, Wi-Fi is your friend when it comes to Uber, especially if you’re trying to avoid those ridiculous roaming charges when you’re traveling. Just make sure you’ve got a connection when you’re ordering and ideally when the driver is on their way, just in case they need to contact you. Hope that helps!
