Uber's available in 44 countries on six continents. Since hiring David Plouffe, Obama's former campaign manager, the startup is looking to expand its reach even further.

If you've never considered using Uber to get around your city, fear not. It's an incredibly easy process. In just a few steps, you can be on your way from point A to point B in a private car. 

Uber is a free app, available in the Apple App Store, Google Play, and in BlackBerry's App World.
