Uber Now Offering Rides At 3 Delaware Beaches

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- Ride-sharing company Uber is now doing business in three Delaware beach towns.

WDEL-FM reports the company announced Friday it's now offering its UberX service in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach.

The company says it signed a Memorandum of Understanding last week with Gov. Jack Markell, DelDOT and the DMV that will allow Uber to operate statewide in the near future.

The MOU establishes guidelines for Uber's drivers.

Uber was founded in San Francisco in 2009 as Uber Cab and now operates in the U.S. and 55 other countries.
