Ok so what is the protocol when it comes to using Uber when visiting a SP. I guess when you are visiting a WG you have been to before it is fairly easy as you already know her address. However what happens when you are visiting someone new ? In my experience a WG will not give out her entire address, you have to keep calling her to get the directions. I hope my question is understood.

I understand your question quite well. What I found is if you call for confirmation, get the street name. Call again when you waiting for Uber and explain you need street number to put on uber. I haven't had problems after explaining why I need the address

@John
Maybe just rent a car for the day, that will solve the problem.

That story about call me when u at garage x then call me when u at this robot then call me when u in this street and me when u at the gate and and and. Just kills the excitement But i suppose I can somewhat understand why SPs have to do so.

@MrJ786
Yeah, I can understand why SPs have to do this.
But sometimes when you have to call them from about 3 places, the garage, the robot, the corner etc it gets a bit much.
Worst of all, when you finally get to the gate, they sometimes take about 5 mins to open it!!!
Not pleasant sitting in a car while cars are going past etc that 5 mins seems like an hour.
This is why as I get older, I prefer to stick with my regulars, I don't have any of those hassles.

I am scared of guys coming by Uber. If someone has bad intentions he is more likely to use public transport or Uber or park his car somewhere else and come walking.

Absolutely bud. We all go thru those school fees phase but agree totally sticking with regulars and being more selective too.. but theres those occassions the smaller head tries to get the better of you.
SPs with good reputations also make a big difference. That waiting in the car or driving aimlessly around is just mood killer and pretty much disrespectful of another persons time too I suppose.

Every sport has its injuries.
