The Guru Take
UberSUV and UberXL guarantee you with 6
UberXL and UberSUV provide enough space for 6 passengers, and this does not consider for luggage either. Then again, if you happen to get a large car, you may be ok. it seems people have better luck with uberSUV (The more luxurious service), as it often calls upon cars like Suburbans and Escalades which have third-row seats and 7 seats.
We have 7 people. Can you accommodate us?
Can we ride with 7 if 4 are kids?
Comments
There are a few xl vehicles that can seat 7 passengers. Remember the vehicle capacity is legally limited based on the number of available seatbelts. You could order an XL, check the vehicle type or even better call the driver to see how many he can legally seat.
Alternately you and one of your riders could both order an UBERX and split cars. Keep in mind that two UberX's are only incrementally more expensive than a single XL.
And FYI,, Uber does not offer large capacity vans on their system. I read somewhere that the limitations of their insurance coverage stops at 7 passengers.
I had no idea of this, "the limitations of their insurance coverage stops at 7 passengers."
However, I believe the drivers, even with their Suburbans and Escaldes with 8 seats, don't have to take the seventh passenger, as 7 is not an offered capacity by Uber SUV.
