Currently, Uber operates in the following cities in South Africa: Pretoria, Johannesburg, Durban, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Soweto.
Why does Uber cost more than a taxi?
The cost of an Uber ride can be about twice as expensive as a taxi. Why? Well, for starters, the fares for Uber vary depending on demand and this means that it can be much cheaper to take an Uber at certain times or places. Another reason is that you’re paying for the convenience of not having to hail a cab and negotiate a rate with the driver.
How much will an Uber ride cost me?
The cost of an Uber ride depends on how far you are travelling and how much traffic there is. If you are travelling a short distance within a city, the average cost of an Uber ride will be around $1.75-2.00. However, if you are travelling to the next town over or outside of your country, the average cost of an Uber ride will be around $3-4.
How can I get guaranteed safe rides home?
You can get a ride with Uber, by downloading the app and setting up an account. You’ll need to provide your credit card information and driver’s license number. You will also have to upload a photo of your license or ID and confirm your phone number.
