If you use this service, be careful, as it does have sneaky drawbacks. Like this.
I was a first time user. I ordered an Uber from home to a fairly local (5 miles) boozer (about right). The agreed price was £7.11. Checking my emails much later, I see a charge for… £18.65. So after a complaint was put in, and replied to the next day, I’ve removed the app, and ain’t gonna use them again. Something about surge pricing. If they wanted to more than double the price, then the app should have made that quite clear. It didn’t! Removing app, never going to use these rip-off merchants again. Just glad I didn’t tip the driver!
UPDATE: 16th December.
After a reply from Uber, they’ve refunded me the extra (this is a one off as a gesture of goodwill!), and I told them don’t worry, it won’t happen again.
Damn right it won’t!
