I don't get it ? Why not just phone up and book a cab, if you want a nice car just phone up what round here we call an executive cab service and get a flashier car. I used a normal min cab company in shoreditch a few weeks ago and it was an S-class Merc.
You don't get it, it can be 4am, you pull out your phone, open the app and hit the "set pickup location" button, 5 minutes later (more or less depending on the city) a car in very good shape pulls up (could be town car, Mercedes, SUV, all have to be inspected and approved by uber), you get in, driver takes you where you want to go, and you get out. No cash, no credit cards, no signing bills, no tips, nothing. The only way you have the same experience is if the driver works for you full time. Users rate the drivers, if their score drops below something like 4.1 out of 5 they are kicked out of uber.
