If you are like us, getting a taxi is not so easy for a family of 5. We need the van taxi’s to fit our family which is fine when you are at the airport or ordering a cab but not so easy if you are in Boston.

But things are changing. Today,  users in Boston can request an uberXL car type, which consists of vehicles with seating for up to six people.

I have some ideas:

• Concerts
• RedSox games (or any other sporting event!)
• Going to a beach (have you tried parking at a Massachusetts beach during summer?!)
• A night out when you don’t have a designated driver

How does uberXL work?

It’s an app that you simply use to request a vehicle!

Uber is an iPhone/Android/Blackberry app that allows you to request a ride at the tap of a button and summons a professional driver to your side within minutes. Track your driver’s arrival on a map and receive a notification when they arrive. There’s no need to worry about handling cash – your fare is automatically billed to your credit card on file and there’s no need to tip.
