Who Orders Uber Premier Rides?

Hey, it's Mario Mateo back at it in Miami, Florida... In today's vlog, I dove into the intriguing world of Uber Premier rides, exploring who opts for these pricier options and why. Starting off, I shared a bit about the Tesla Model 3 I'm rocking for Uber rides, courtesy of Hertz, and how it qualifies for nearly all Uber categories, setting the stage for a day filled with insights and adventures across Miami.

I discussed the financial dynamics and customer demographics of Uber Premier, including the rationale behind why individuals choose more expensive rides over standard options. From rich folks and business travelers using the company card to those aiming for a quieter, more private experience, I dissected the diverse motivations behind these choices. Additionally, I touched on the impact of big events like Art Basel and the Ultra Music Festival on the demand for Premier rides.

The day wasn't just about Uber analytics; it was a slice of life featuring a visit to my parents, a mishap with an ATM, and the inevitable lure of Cuban food. I also highlighted the importance of keeping the Tesla clean and presentable for Premier customers, sharing a glimpse into the daily upkeep required to maintain top-tier service standards.
