Yersterdat, when using google maps, I had one of those recommendations that pop up, to use the Uber app. I had a look but the reviews were atrocious. The fares seemed to be sky-high (this was not in Britain).

Here is one:
"Most ridiculously charged set up.. the driver told me amount is 177 and i was charged 277 by uber on my online payment... the biggest cheat they are ....the driver said that there is no tax and again they charged double tax.. i will never use uber and no one should use they are the cheats..."
