Fwd: How To Avoid Getting Scammed By Uber + My Personal Story









10xTravel Logo


In a lot of ways, Uber has made traveling much easier. Instead of having to try to communicate in a foreign language to a driver who knows the city much better than you ever will (and can use it to their advantage if they want), we can now simply open up our Uber app, type in our destination (in English!) and hail a car without ever even needing to speak to the driver. It's pretty amazing.

And since I find that getting in a taxi is generally the easiest way to get ripped off in a foreign country, you better bet that I use Uber pretty much any time it's available.

But what happens when Uber rips you off? And in this case, I don't mean an Uber driver, but the Uber app itself. Let me tell you what happened, how I was able to get it resolved, and my plans going forward.

How To Avoid Getting Scammed By Uber + My Personal Story
The Situation

I was in Madrid and needed to take an Uber to the airport for my flight home. I typed in 'MAD Airport,' saw that the correct location came up on my app with a reasonable price of 21 Euros, and ordered the Uber to my hotel. The Uber showed up, the driver loaded the bags, and we were on our way to the airport. When we were a few minutes out, the driver asked which terminal he should go to, and I replied '4S.'
