whenever I fly into a new European country/city, I wonder if I'll have to set up yet another account with whichever localized version of "RideDirect" is currently operating there before I can leave the airport
since the riders are the ones paying for the service, it may be more impactful to make an app designed for them, which then plugs into the independant smaller networks of drivers seamlessly. then I can fly into Hamburg and just tell whichever service is operating in that city that I'm around and need a ride.
maybe even let them compete for the best fare...

There are cities where Uber operates only through a bunch of intermediaries (essentially taxi mini-companies). A driver cannot signup with Uber directly, they have to go to one of these companies.
