Simply download the Uber smartphone app and hail a car on demand. You can watch the car approach your location in real-time and they email you a receipt after the trip. Use the cheapest service UberX to save money, however they have other options such as UberTAXI, UberBLACK, UberSUV, and UberLUX. I use my Chase Sapphire Preferred($500 travel credit bonus) for 2.14 points per dollar, since Chase classifies car service as a travel expense.
