FREE £10 credit when signing up to Uber using code FREE17

That moment when Uber takes the quickest, but longest route to Milan airport and they are planning to charge you about 90 EUR. Then you take a normal taxi that charges you 30 EUR. So thanks, but no thanks. I can stay 10 more minutes in traffic to save 60 EUR.

Almost every ride with Uber is more expensive than a taxi nowadays, so again, no thanks.

Shame I'm already signed up dammm it 😡😞

Thanks OP, I love Uber. I use them all the time.

I went for a job interview in Denmark. I used uber. An interviewer from the US used a local taxi firm. Local firm was twice the price.

Why complain? I obviously have to pay for the distance, as the driver has to pay for the used petrol. There too many things to complain about and I cannot really waste my time fixing their services on my time and money. Instead, I choose something else.

Hmm, strange to hear that. In Milan (or Italy), almost every trip was 1-2 EUR more expensive than a normal taxi. The only reason why I used Uber was that I could not waste time searching for taxis on streets at 6 in the morning as the taxi operators do no speak English and they hand up on you when call... Lol.

Yeah install then follow these instructions. I just signed up
uber.com/en-…de/

Does Uber work off SMS or do they contact you via the app?

I've already registered my mobile with them
OP says you can use different credit cards?

​the driver gets paid the fare, Uber doesn't deduct from the driver (unless he followed a totally different route than what is shown on the app)
Uber pays you the difference just to attempt to keep your custom.

I always thought i would never use Uber because of all the negative comments from people in the trade i guess but i was pleasantly surprised.
Had a very good experience, well priced and the driver was a good laugh too, after using Uber with such ease i can see why Cabbies are not happy about Uber, I waited about 3mins, walked outside and the vehicle was outside waiting, Whats not to like?

In Dubai Uber was more expensive than normal taxis.

Also £10 free uber ride offer with code TUBE17 posted it a while back: hotukdeals.com/vou…628

Seem to get the "increased fares" message all the time now with Uber. They are getting greedy.

Uber in Vietnam was about 50p for a short ride. Depends on the area, which dictates the drivers and the price. There are other apps available in London.

Nice! Thank you much!!

Does the £10 expire and is there a minimum spend?

Expires in 21 days in London lol. I assume the appeal will drag things out

do you need a credit card?
will debit do or is this not a good idea?

Everyone wants to pay fares from the early 90's to the drivers, but most people wouldn't stand for that if they were getting paid 90's wages in their own jobs. Drivers have become wise and now play the system to earn a living.
