Very large number of drivers and type of Uber. Used the Uber X as it was the cheapest for me. Much cheaper and more reliable than the taxis in the country, usually half price compared to taxis, except for long distance trips where the difference is not as big. Average rating of drivers is lower than in the US but only good experiences. Local traffic conditions make the waiting time a bit unpredictable though.
Uber drivers are very afraid of taxi drivers who have been known to attack them but did not have any issues in around the 15 trips I took there.

-Thailand (BKK)
Uber is actually not really cheaper than taxis and often much less convenient to use as getting the driver to find you is often a struggle. Wide availability of taxis make it less interesting.

- France
Rather good experiences, much more polite and helpful drivers than the usual grumpy taxi drivers. Also so easy as the card in charge instead of the need to having cash. Quite expensive though.

- Denmark
A bit cheaper than taxis but still very expensive. Drivers seem afraid of the police and taxis, even if they claim the service is legal in the country. Still an ok experience.

In Norway and Myanmar, Uber is not available or does not exist.
