Recent trip:

- Istanbul: No trouble getting a ride on the Asian side which was nice. The ride itself was in a VW Van with curtains on the windows, leather couches in the back, a DVD player and a cooler which means I think you have to drive for a limo type company to drive for Uber. The ride was cheap and comfortable.

- Athens: Apparently the taxi drivers do not like Uber. You also have to sign a contract with the driver which claims you've hired him for the day in case you're stopped by the police. Also their pick up and drop off locations at ATH are not very good. No trouble getting one at 7 AM though.
