Want to catch an Uber but don't want to mess with the app? You want to talk to a live person? Now's your chance.

You can call 1-833-USE-UBER (873-8237). You'll be able to reach a live human who will help you book a ride. The representative will be able to help with trip requests, price quotes and finding the ride. Uber admitted the feature is for older adults. I don't consider myself an "older adult," even though I do have a birthday coming up, but I would definitely use this feature.

By the way, they are just rolling this feature out in Florida to start.
