I love Uber! I almost never use cabs anymore. Uber came especially handy in Europe. We went to some countries that used different money denominations than we do here and cab drivers definitely take advantage of that! With uber, we would summon a car, enter our origin and destination in the app and it didn't even matter if our driver spoke English (which many of them didn't because they didn't work in the hospitality industry) and we were able to get to where we needed to go safely and with no issues.
