This actually did happen to me. When I was in Hyderabad, I took an Uber from my company's office to the airport, and the driver said his phone died right after picking me up, so I had to pay cash.

- jasonthorsness 1y agoUber is almost always cash in cities I’ve visited in India. Some take UPI too but it’s hard to use that as a foreigner.

Then I reported the drivers for the scammers they are to Uber, and I got a refund of the price I never paid in the first place, plus credit. Love me some VC welfare.
