Uber is a rideshare service that offers peer-to-peer ridesharing, ride service hailing, food delivery, and a bicycle-sharing system. You normally set up an account with Uber including a payment method, but this wikiHow will show you how you can pay for an Uber with cash. Since Uber is mainly a cashless business, you can only select cash as a payment when you're requesting a ride if it's accepted in your area.
