I took an Uber today from GIG to JW Marriott at Copacabana. Charge was R55. However, I should have paid for a cleaner vehicle and better driver.
I checked to see costs of returning to the airport and Uber posted something like $145 with a notation about unusual demand. This is a Sunday but it is also Election Day so n to sure what fee I will be looking at around 5 pm tomorrow evening.
I flew in from VIX and when going through the domestic arrivals saw signs about Uber at Gate C on the departure level. I connected to the free Wifi near Gate B and within less than one minute the Uber came to me at Gate B.
