A study done in 2016 found that, on average, Uber was 26% cheaper than taxis in Orlando. However, this price difference will vary depending on the specific route taken and time of day. For example, during peak hours Uber may be more expensive than taxis. Thus, it is important to compare prices for specific trips in order to determine which option is cheaper. In addition to price, another factor to consider when deciding between Uber and taxis is convenience. Taxis can be hailed on the street, while Uber must be ordered through the app. If you are not comfortable using a smartphone or do not have access to the internet, a taxi may be the better option. Finally, it is worth noting that Uber offers a variety of different services (e.g. UberX, UberPool, etc.), while most taxis only offer one type of service. This can be a deciding factor if you are looking for a specific service, such as a shared ride or a luxury vehicle.
