I've had bad experiences like this with both taxis and Ubers. With Uber, I've had dozens of experiences where either (1) There were no drivers available in my area, (2) The drivers repeatedly canceled on me, or (3) The driver didn't cancel, but also never came to pick me up, and instead just drove in the opposite direction for 10-15 minutes.
I now don't trust taxis, Uber, or Lyft to get me to the airport very early in the morning. I live in DC, not exactly a small town.
- nilkn 9y agoThis is why I still use an old-school limo company ("limo" as in fancy black car, not a real limousine) for airport pickups/dropoffs in my home city. Years ago I found one that's extremely reliable and trustworthy. Nearly five years later I haven't had a single issue. Uber in general is much better than taxis, but I still wouldn't really trust it for time-critical early morning pickups.
- eigenvector 9y agoA tactic some Uber drivers seem to use to avoid having to cancel (which can get them kicked off the platform if they do it too frequently) is to just drive away from you until you get frustrated and cancel on your end.
