Uber, lyft, grab . . . others?
Which do you use, if any, and why? We use Uber because the taxis in Thailand and Vietnam were cheating us so badly. I understand they’re (Uber drivers) underpaid so we tip.
Im curious about the others, especially in Europe.

Uber in Europe is great. We used in Portugal all the time and it’s incredibly cheap and easy. The drivers are a lot nicer than taxi drivers too!! (At least that was our experience)

Uber is great in Thailand and Philippines where taxis are complete thieves

We used both Grab and Uber in Singapore and Malaysia. Both were great although Grab seemed a bit cheaper but comparable. Definitely cheaper and nicer than taxi.

We always took cabs or tuktuks in Thailand, Malaysia and Laos but we first verified the cabs were Metered. If they weren't metered we wouldn't get in. The metered cabs are extremely cheap: No meter and you get fleeced!

They rig the meters in Hanoi. Tuk-Tuks don’t have meters and charge twice what Uber does in Chiang Mai. Then in Krabi they give you a price for your destination, get you half way there and when you don’t get out they double or triple the price - turns out they “misunderstold”. Laos they’d fill up the vehicle and charge everyone what you’d agreed on for 2. Still, we felt less screwed in Laos. It’s not that you never get an honest trip but . . . we’re here a lot and it gets old. What seems cheap to you may be triple to 10 times what the locals pay. Uber is effortless, I’d recommend it to everyone.
