Does Cape May Have Uber?

Does Cape May Have Uber?

Yes. Open the app on Beach Avenue and it’ll happily take your request. The hard part is how long you’ll stare at “finding your driver,” because the town is perched on the southern tip of New Jersey and most drivers live and work farther up the shore. It’s the same geography that turns picking an airport for Cape May into a real decision.

In July the town is packed, and the apps feel it. Daytime rides are usually fine, but when every restaurant on Washington Street empties out at once on a Saturday night, waits stretch and prices creep up. February has the opposite problem. Nobody’s requesting rides, so hardly anyone’s driving, and on a quiet weeknight the app may just give up.

That’s why our team always tells people to save a local cab number in their phone. Cape May has a few long-running taxi companies, and they’ll book a pickup ahead of time. Do that for an early ferry, a bus connection or anything you can’t afford to miss.

In season you might not need wheels at all. The city runs a free summer shuttle, and a free golf cart service picks people up around town in the evenings, dropping to weekends once the crowds leave. Most of the Victorian district, the mall and the beach are close enough to walk, and walking is half the fun here anyway.

Still working out how to get down the shore in the first place? Getting to Cape May without a car covers the bus and train side.
