Ah, that's a good one actually. So, with Uber is there any certainty? Do they give you money back or something if the Uber doesn't appear on the specified time?
It has happened to me that I have waited a bit over the usual time for my taxi, but not very often.
- medvezhenok 3y agoNo, but Uber adds a market signal - if there is a shortage of drivers, rates will go up to entice more to get on the road.
- soco 3y agoIt happens with Uber sometimes that your designated driver just dallies some other place until you have to cancel the ride and hail a normal cab - then the canceling charge will be on you. Pretty neat trick, I'd say.
- ses1984 3y agoYou can trust the price and not get shaken down, I had to take a local small town taxi the other day and they charged me $20 for a very short ride with no meter. I needed a ride from queens to NJ and many cab companies simply hung up on me. I dislike uber the company but cabs were worse, for me.
