Kitesurfing Safari in Egypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe explanation is simple<\/strong>: it\u2019s so cheap that drivers aren\u2019t incentivized to use the app to drive you around. What they do is accept your ride but then ask you to pay more than the quoted fare (in cash, of course). This doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen. This is not only an unpleasant experience but also completely defeats the main purpose of Uber – avoiding the need to pay cash for a cab ride. Let\u2019s take a look at what does and doesn\u2019t upset me about the Uber experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWHY DO DRIVERS USE UBER THEN?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This upsets me. Don\u2019t be an Uber driver if you\u2019re not going to follow Uber\u2019s rules. It\u2019s that simple. I assume they use Uber to make money (obviously), but if you do, do it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RAISE YOUR PRICE, UBER!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Uber should make rides more expensive. It might sound strange, but this would solve most of the current problems, as drivers would no longer feel the need to ask for extra money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DOES UBER WORKS IN THE AIRPORT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Technically, yes, but in practice, almost all Uber drivers in the airport will ask you to pay in cash. I suggest arranging a transfer in advance when you arrive at the airport. Taxis are, of course, also available, but taxi drivers tend to be even greedier than Uber drivers and will try to charge you up to ten times the actual fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAN I USE UBER TO COME TO YOUR YACHT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Yes, but only if you\u2019re in Hurghada – and be prepared to turn down some Uber drivers if they ask you for extra money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ALTERNATIVES TO UBER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
InDrive is my go to app. With InDrive, I set the price of the ride myself – this way, I can pay a fair amount and avoid any misunderstandings. Typically, I pay for an InDrive ride a bit more than double the Uber fare, which I feel is fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t recommend to use taxis to move around Hurghada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
