Can be pretty scammy with no support

Had multiple rides, said they arrived, with no shows and they tried to charge me a cancellation fee. Emailed support, never heard back, so had to dispute the fraudulent charge with my credit card company. So kind of annoying usually. Not worth the couple bucks of price difference from uber/lyft.

Too much power

I like the app and I started using the app just because I know that the drivers get 100% of how much the ride cost but the way that they can cancel without no reason or any warning to the actual writer is wild

Not reliable

Drivers will not show up, they want you to cancel.

Subieron la Tarifas

Por un viajede 5 millas que normalmente me cuesta entre $11 a $14 me lo están cobrando a $17 .
Solicité un arreglo de tarifa , pero aun no tengo noticias.
Ya son igual a cualquier empresa 🙄
