Uber

DD2 uses Uber and I was amazed at the speed with which they arrived when we spent time with her recently.

Our council won't let Uber operate in this area so we still have to pay extortionate taxi fares. However, I used Uber on holiday recently and was pretty pleased with it, all bar one trip. It was a 5:15am trip to a foreign airport and the pre-booked Uber didn't turn up. I was panicking about missing our flight but I rebooked and thankfully a young chap arrived a few minutes later. He said he hadn't been able to sleep so when he saw my request he jumped into his car to meet us.

I'm a fan of Uber. I've used Uber many times in London, and frequently in South Africa, where they are very popular seeing as there is a lack of public transport. Never had a problem.

We use Ubers all the time. We started in London, used them in Brighton and we now have just 1 in the town where I live. I find it useful that I can book and pay for a taxi for someone else, I have the name of the driver and his registration.
