Thanks Keyser - that's consistent with what I saw on news reports from a couple years ago, sorry to learn it's still true. I'll just go with a car arranged by the hotel so I know I'm getting a luxury vehicle.

Disappointed in Uber as they seem to be still be positioning UberBlack as providing a luxury car in Mumbai on both their website and app. Glad to have it from someone on the ground - that's why these boards are so useful. ^
