Have used Uber over 100 times... only issue was occasionally finding the meeting spot.

Default Uber

I love Uber! It's fast and convenient, and you can see who's coming to pick you up in real time. I also like that there is no dealing with the credit card in the car...it's all done online, including the tip. And, you can rate your driver afterwards.

I’ve used Uber quite a bit including Thailand before Covid actually in foreign countries it’s the best way to go . I don’t think I would use in villages, the whole thing about Uber is there are so many riding around in big cities you get picked up right away , here not so much , In the villages you might get a cab faster and maybe cheaper, but Uber couldn’t be more safe

2 ladies using Uber in the villages...no problem. Went from historic over to SsSquare a few nights. Its been a year, but I think that fee was closer to $10 ....or less. If it was $24 we would of bit the bullet and drove the cart over the monster bridge.😲

If Uber is "like hitchhiking," can't the same thing be said of a taxi? IMO, one bad experience doesn't disqualify. I've used Uber from coast to coast without a bad experience. Might get one some day, I suppose....

Thanks to everyone for the information. Based on this I will try an Uber or Lyft the next time I need transportation.

We survived one of the Villages transportations to Orlando airport and back even though the driver had an oxygen mask on his face so your Uber should be less tramatic. But since every Uber ride is with a stranger there's always the possibility that you'll get a bad egg somewhere along the way. Finding a Villages transportation with the same company over and over is a safer better bet. Even though there are different drivers it's the same setup. Good luck.
