I've tried Uber so many times but have not been able to get a taxi in Dublin. Have you found it reliable in Ireland?

What?! That is weird! Maybe you are badly rated on it. I use it quiet a bit and never had an issue getting a taxi very quickly on it.

Tried using it myself in the past and found it very poor compared to Hailo, nothing to do with the app itself but just the availability of taxis (particularly outside the city) was awful making it nearly redundant. I did manage to use it once, possibly twice and it was grand and slightly cheaper than hailo but ultimately I defaulted to Hailo because of availability issues.

I put it down to the fact that Hailo had already saturated the market and uber were too late to get a proper foothold here, not helped by the fact the strict taxi laws meant that only already licensed taxis could use the service as opposed to how it's used in other countries and most taxi drivers perhaps didn't feel the need for using more than one service.

Having said all that, it's been some time since I even looked at it so perhaps it's a lot better now. I'll give it a try next time I'm looking for a taxi.

So I've just used the app for a 15e fare , should I expect a notification of the 10e credit?

Edit ....sorted got an promo code emailed and used last night to get home , only complaint is the app isnt great and we had to wait 30 mins for a taxi , even the driver was complaining about the new app!!!
