The great idea is you don't have to worry about paying the driver, it's all online safely with your credit card. You get a receipt that is easy to expense. There's a record of the trip. The bad things are drivers don't have benefits, there's little or no safety training for those drivers. Contrast with taxis have lots of rules on them, yet still its very common in my experience that they are not clean, the drivers are surly, argue about things like routes, and often don't have working credit card payment systems (and you worry more about a personal transaction stealing something). But many taxis are great, just like many uber drivers are great. There's no perfect system.
