You see how long until your ride arrives (on a map) and you get the name and picture of the driver as well as the make /model of the car. You get a pretty accurate estimate of the cost before you get in and you don't need to give cash or a card (all is taken care of via the app) and you just worry about the tip. It's a great service and feels very secure!
Thanks.

That’s answered one question and set another. Tipping hadn’t occurred to me as we generally do expect or give tips in Australia. I hadn’t planned on getting Qatari currency as I’ll only be in the country from around 6 pm until 2 am just over a day later.

But I guess this is getting a bit off topic for a Marriott forum.
