After two successful months in New York City, Uber, an app-based car service start-up, expanded to the East End this week, hoping to take advantage of the many travelers on the Fourth of July weekend.
As of yesterday, people from Westhampton to Montauk can use Uber to call for their own private drivers. The company will run an S.U.V. service on the East End through Labor Day weekend.
Additionally, Uber is now offers rides between New York and the East End, with one-way flat rates ranging from $300 for a car to $500 for an S.U.V.
