For the most part, we had great experiences using Uber Paris. We used it from and to the airport…read more We used it for nighttime activities, and occasionally other times. With the exception of this one questionable driver, we encountered drivers, who were friendly, helpful and those who made awesome recommendations. At the outset, we were quite pleased that the experience was going very well.
On this one particular evening, we had an experience where the driver took a long time to arrive, then pulled up on the opposite side of the busy two-way street and just stared at us instead of attempting to pull up to the actual address. Mind you, we were wearing stilettos, so navigating traffic was dicey and uncomfortable.
After finally making our way across the busy street near the trending, novel restaurant, where we dined, we reached to open the car door and the driver abruptly sped off. His actions seemed so calculated, The way he patiently waited for the approach and left as he did was completely insane. The situation was unjustified.
Needless to say, we found his behavior both astonishing and frightening. Not only could he have run over our feet, but he also jeopardized our safety by having us cross the busy street to access his car.
We were neither reimbursed for the failed dispatch nor his despicable behavior. Aside from that horrible experience, all of the other driver's followed protocol while understanding what it means to work for a ride sharing service. Four stars for the drivers who were outstanding.
