Uber?

Has Uber started at the lake, yet. I’d like to go to a show at the amphitheater and I’d like to get over 0.8.

Yes, Uber does operate in the Lake of the Ozarks area, but coverage can be somewhat limited compared to major metropolitan areas. Availability tends to be higher near popular tourist spots, major hotels, and restaurants, especially around the main strip of activities near Osage Beach and the Lake Ozark area.

Some points to keep in mind when planning your trip to the amphitheater:

  • During show nights, surge pricing is common, so rides may cost more than usual, and wait times may be longer.
  • It’s a good idea to schedule your ride in advance if possible or plan for some buffer time, as there might be fewer drivers available in more remote parts of the lake.
  • Some Uber drivers may only pick up from larger lodging or commercial areas, so it might be necessary to walk to a main street or hotel to request your ride.

Alternative options if Uber is slow or unavailable:

  • Lyft is also available in the area, though coverage is similar to Uber and may be limited outside central hubs.
  • Local taxi services and shuttle companies operate near the Lake of the Ozarks and can be booked in advance, especially for events at the amphitheater.
  • If staying at a hotel, check if they offer a shuttle service to the amphitheater; many properties coordinate transportation during event nights.

In summary, Uber can be used to get to the amphitheater, but planning ahead and allowing extra time is recommended. For peak summer shows, considering local taxis or hotel shuttles can be a more reliable option.
