It's wonderful :-) you don't have to get the contact information for the local cab company anymore when you travel to a different city or state, you just request a Huber. It's all done through the app you will already have on your phone. You also don't have to change your current credit card information because it's already in there. I used it when I was in Orlando for the NFB convention or use it want to go to Minneapolis and I use it here in the Phoenix area where I live. And now I will use it when I'm in Missoula :-)
