UBER
I am considering using UBER in London next weekend.
Does anyone have any experience of them? Pros? Cons.
I have downloaded the app but I am a little cautious.
Tubes and buses would be a nightmare trying to get my husband about so I thought this might be an option

I have used it once and thought that it was brilliant. You set up an payment method so no need to worry about having cash at the arrival point. After the ride you get an e-mail inviting you to add a tip should you want to but this is easy to refuse. With UBER the prices vary depending on time of day and how busy the drivers are but it does warn you of this when you start the booking process. I still reckon they would be cheaper than a Black Cab!

This link might be useful to you https://accessibility.uber.com/ If your husband can access a car reasonably easily I doubt it would be a big problem.

Hello David,
Didn’t Valda get sensured for adding a link to a commercial van hire site? Heavy handed I thought. Thought Uber where a commercial enterprise. Watch out for big brother.

We don't ever use Uber. Too many bad reports. We always use a brilliant local taxi company in West Lothian, they have an easily remembered nickname, (not permitted to say it on here).
When in Edinburgh or Glasgow we always use the Black Cabs.

There is no issue with bringing to attention of fellow members a commercial company that might be of use to them. Over promotion of an organisation might well be against the T&C's. BTW Val's post is still there for all to see. Given the circumstances of the original poster, which you may not be aware of, posting details of accessability for disabled passengers to a cab companies taxis is hardly promoting a commercial company but what it does do is help a member trying to cope with the mobility issues of her partner?
