Worth it

One of the best apps I use so far. Best in price in NZ so far

Driver at Nice airports are total crooks

Six drivers cancelling, asking unsafe questions if you’re a girl and trying to get you to go outside the app with other males

Terrible cheats

On the app it will off you say 40% 5 trips when you book it will then say if you want a drive to except you need to put the price up. What is the point of giving me a discount if you are going to force me to pay more. The drive love to cancel on you. Every time I try to book it’s either the drivers don’t accept or they do and then they cancel. Customer service is freaking terrible! Don’t even bother trying to talk to them. Just use Uber honestly
