Austin, Texas, July 1, 2015 -- Starting this 4th of July, TabbedOut members in Austin, TX will be able to request an Uber ride directly through the TabbedOut app. New Uberriders will get their first ride for free (up to $20).

“I speak for the whole company when I say we couldn’t be more excited about our new partnership with Uber,” said Alex Broeker, CEO of TabbedOut. “Both Uber and TabbedOut simplify your evening by saving you time and money, and this Independence Day we’ve teamed up to make sure you get home safe, too.”

TabbedOut members will be able to use the promo code TABBEDOUTATX to get $20 free toward their first ride with Uber. The partnership allows users to easily request an Uber ride with the tap of a button.

"As we gear up to celebrate the 4th of July, Uber and TabbedOut want to make sure Texans have a safe, reliable ride when they need it most," said Uber General Manager Marco McCottry. "Through our partnership with TabbedOut, we're making it even easier to request a ride home, making the streets a safer place for everyone."

TabbedOut’s integration with Uber makes catching a ride home just a click away and provides all customers with a good excuse to have a safe night out this holiday weekend.
