I did not try uber. I use grabcar, very cheap and good service. The app is downloaded from sing so they should have 6 seater or bigger car.

But uber or grab is good for 1 destination. If you plan to go farms, temple and penang hill, it's best to book a driver.
We go entopia, tropical farm, goat farm, nutmeg farm, Audi dream farm, Penang hill and Kek Lok Si temple, hope this help.
Entopia entrance fee is very expensive, can skip.
