I find local taxi companies have started making their own 'Uber' apps that accept card and it's fantastic. And you don't have to deal with the awful rating system Uber have. Whoever thought it was a good idea to have drivers rate their customers really doesn't understand customer service. If you're out with some friends on a night out for example, of course you're going to get a bad rating (because your friends are drunk and probably a bit rowdy) which affects you during the working day or just solo. Local taxi services are usually cheaper too as they don't do the surge pricing like Uber do. Uber have really driven me away as a customer to the local services. Also local taxis don't cancel so they can abuse the surge system.
