You can go to the trouble of finding out the phone number of a taxi
firm in your current locality. Or you can just use the Uber app that
you have already installed on your smartphone.

I don't have it on smartphone, and would avoid that organisation on a
matter of principle. If I needed specifically a minicab I'd call a local
company that had served me well in the past and gave the impression it
had a reputation they wanted to preserve.
