We are excited to announce that uberX will officially launch in St. George, Utah on Friday, June 17. Uber will service the St. George region including all of Washington County by seamlessly connecting riders to uberX drivers through the app.  In addition, riders can request a ride to or from the St. George Airport.

We are thrilled to be considered an Uber City!”

Just refresh your Uber app after a few minutes to request a ride, and you’ll be on your way.
