We've used Uber and Uber Pool about 10 times in the last week. Mostly good. I had one driver mess a pickup at the Wilson Market on Saturday. He was 200 meters down the road.

He started and ended the trip with me not in the car, so I got billed 6€. He eventually pulled up to me, but then he denied he was my Uber. I always take a picture of the assigned driver screen with license plate info. Of course I got the ride voided, but it's always annoying.

The next driver arrived to the perfect spot.

I always check pricing of Uber vs taxis. Now that it's hard to tell if there is surge pricing, it's easy for the Uber to go from €12 to €20 or vice versa in 10-15 minutes.

I'm headed from the Hyatt Etoile to Marriott Village by Disneyland today, and the Uber fare is about €70. Taxi's seem 5-8€ less, but then we'd probably pay for our 5 bags, so might be a wash.
