Timing is great, the cars are very good (though what is uber black would be probable the equivalent of uberX/uberExec)
First driver (Toyota Corolla)did not speak english but had translation apps when they wanted to make themselves understood.
Second driver (Hyundai Elantra) did speak a little english and had some sweets and coolers.
Both drivers were using the Waze app for getting around the infamous traffic in Sao Paulo
Thanks for your post. We're heading to Brazil soon, so i'm considering using Uber. We Fly into Sao Paulo and will stay at the Grand Hyatt. Did you call Uber using mobile data or wifi? I won't have mobile data over there, so my only choice is wifi. If you did use wifi, how did you give the location to the driver? Also, did you get cash at the hotel ATM machine? I read that Sao Paulo and Rio airport ATMs have huge problems with ATM skimming, so I'm leaning toward going to the hotel ATM. Thanks in advance for your help.
