Free Uber Ride

[Bluebird since 1948]

Just like |dragon taxis

You agree a price with Uber then pay. You don't have to deal with arguing with a greedy bastard speaking in part English and part Arabic whilst haggling over the price.

Sounds good.

Unless you fall asleep.

Or end up in a rapists cab.

Same as with a Normal taxi then?

Except if you fall asleep and get the scenic route home you can get your money back it seems

Your post that I was responding to was about tracking them not about agreeing prices. However, with the Dragon app you can book a taxi, get a price and track the taxi. And Dragon have plenty of drivers who are native English speaker.

One advantage of Uber is you can pay by credit card. There are annoyingly few taxi companies in Cardiff that take them.
Most major cities it is commonplace.
Especially annoying if you are using a company credit card for travel expenses.

Dragon and Premier both have apps that let you book taxis and pay by card

I can't see many price surges in Cardiff due to high demand, except the known busiest nights of the year when buyers will have to be careful. Uber also makes better use of technology than ordinary black cab companies, however there are far too many stories of mistakes being made (cars getting lost) and I can't forget the bogus claims on here by one supporter that it was a safer experience that makes me nervous about using it.
