Uber-like taxi options in England/Ireland
Posted on 3/31/17 at 6:59 am
Posted on 3/31/17 at 6:59 am
The wife and I are taking a trip to the British Isles in May, and I was curious if anyone had experience with taxi options along the lines of Uber/Lyft/etc. in that region. Specifically, we'll be visiting London, Oxford, Edinburgh, Inverness, Dublin, and Kilkenny.
Any suggestions/advice?
TIA

They have Uber. Used it extensively.
But Haleo is more popular in Ireland.

Honestly the tourist areas in these cities are set up more for walking or in the case of London throw in the tube.
You will not likely be using a car much and Taxi's are very readily available, usually already lined up wherever you may be unless outside the central districts.
Edinburgh is one of my favorite cities, take the train from London, it is worth the trip.

I used Uber in Dublin two weeks ago without issue. And as mentioned very popular in the UK.

It really is fun taking the tube in London, so please do get yourself an Oyster card as soon as you arrive. And you'll be amazed and how genuinely nice and helpful the staff are if you get confused by anything.
Enjoy it - England is so great.
