Dutch roll is characterized by a low frequency oscillation, with a period in the order of seconds. So it wouldn't be a "bumpy" ride but a slooow yet continuous, very nauseating oscillation (try to slowly rock forward and back

In my city in Spain Uber is not available but GMaps offers rides with Cabify instead, a local alternative. But I think it is negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
