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..."

I've taken Uber in 3 different cities around the world (UK, Europe and
the US) and one of the noticeable things is that whilst in the vehicle
money is never discussed - you get an estimate before the journey starts
and when you arrive you just get out and walk away (I do tend to say
thanks and goodbye!).

I'm guessing the reviews were for India given the amounts and the language?
