Question
Renting a car vs. Ubering
Answer
Once you are in the Stockyards, most shops, restaurants and bars are walkable. Ubers are readily available. The hotels do have daily parking fees and/or valet fees. Allow extra time if using the valet services at Hotel Drover. There will be an optional trolley bus that will be taking guests to Hotel Drover on Saturday, April 27th before the Ceremony. There will be limited space on the trolley bus so Ubering or driving to Hotel Drover is also an option. A schedule of pick-up times from the hotels listed on our website will be available as we get closer to Wedding Day!
