I was very impressed with Uber in Paris, on my recent trip having used them 5 times, with all experiences being good/excellent apart from one which was very bad, in a new format for my review today, I am going to talk about each experience on a separate basis. TRIP 1 Jamal: My first trip with Uber while in Paris, was very good, I just found it easy to be able to type in the postcodes of where I am and where I want picking up, to request a taxi without having to bother, and use all my data and minutes finding a taxi number and phoning it, and then trying to explain with the language difference, with Uber that's all done for you. The price was quite cheap as well costing just over 12 euros, with a base fair of a single one euro, considering I was in the car for 18 minutes and traveled 6 1/2 kilometers the fair and the time of the journey wasn't bad at all. The driver even let me charge my phone during the ride, he passed me his charger so I could charge it on the back seat, which was nice of him TRIP 2 Walid: This was my return journey from Trip 1 on the following day, I was in the car slightly longer at 20 minutes, and traveled slightly longer at just over 8 kilometers, but I didn't mind this as the trip didn't cost much more at 14.18 euros, and the driver did seem to try and show me the sights. He spoken very good English and seemed really friendly, we talked about how he is training to be a chef and actually cooks pizza, which he said after he saw my pizza boxes to take back to the hotel, he seemed nice enough about it and didn't mind that I wanted to travel with food either. He shown me some parts of Paris I had not yet seen, and told me a bit of information about them, which made it seem really nice to get me to see more of Paris, which was nice of him. TRIP 3 Papi Trip 3 with Uber saw me take trip just over 16km away from my hotel to the Stade de France, for a tour later on in the day at the stadium, which sadly was disappointing, but at least the journey wasn't. Considering the distance, the price was also quite reasonable costing 23.71 euros for a trip which taken just over 26 minutes, I was pleased the journey was quite quick, and the driver helped us get there as quick as possible so I didn't miss my tour and also seemed friendly enough. TRIP 4 Mourad: This was the worst of my Uber experiences in Paris, and perhaps one of my worst taxi experiences overall, the driver was very rude and unwelcoming, it took quite a while to find him, and he expected me to walk to the other side of the stadium to find him, despite him knowing where I was on the phone GPS, he got really angry with me and when I eventually found him, he was on the other side of the road to where he told me he was, which was just outside the gate. He then refused to pull his window down, and then got out of the car and shouted at me and refused to carry me due to my luggage, he told me I had to rebook and he cancelled the journey, as it was over 5 minutes since booking, I was charged a 5 euro cancellation fee. I was very upset about this considering how rude he was and felt he may had been discriminating against me for not being where he wanted me to be, and just seemed rather rude. I knew my luggage would fit, having got the same exact car, an Opel Insignia on the way there with Papi, and it was literally the size of one small bag.and he seemed more scared of damaging his car and extra weight, so refused to carry me I complained to Uber about this, and they were nice enough to refund my money as credit in my account. TRIP 5 Sergio After the disaster with Mourad, I tried to request a taxi with Uber and Sergio got me home without a fuss, he didn't seem to speak English other than the basic Hello, Thankyou etc, but he seemed polite, and smart in his suit and got me home in a reasonably quick fashion, which was slightly more expensive than the return journey, taking longer in both kilometers and time. Overall, Uber is great in Paris with really nice drivers, nice cars, which are more modern, and helps you to enjoy a special, safer service without worrying about the language barrier or getting ripped off, so they do deserve 4 stars and Uber in Paris helps set an example for Uber in other cities, and they deserve a solid 4 stars, I'm pleased to report. Uber have also recently launched Ubereats in Paris, which is similar to Deliveroo and UberPOOL, which is 30% cheaper and they pick up someone else going your direction, which is pretty cool and more eco-friendly too, services currently not launched in most cities, including my home town of Manchester. read more
