Unreal Experience - Avoid at All Costs
I made the mistake of booking a ride with this service in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. They claim the driver will meet you with a sign displaying your name and provide a receipt, but that’s far from what actually happened.
I received a WhatsApp message from someone with a different name and car than what was listed in the app. He told me to find him in an external parking lot. The vehicle turned out to be a private car driven by a friendly Pakistani man just trying to make some extra money, but he wasn’t authorized to transport passengers. To make matters worse, there was another passenger—a local man with a suitcase in the trunk. The driver tried to convince us that this person was the "second driver" mentioned in the app, which was obviously not true.
I paid $40 for this service, only to find out later that a taxi to the city center costs around $20 without haggling, and an Uber would have cost no more than $15.
This service is a complete scam. The driver explained that non-Saudi nationals aren’t allowed to drive for Uber, Bolt, or similar services, so they resort to alternative apps to make extra cash. This is borderline illegal, if not outright against local laws.
My advice: stick to local transportation. It’s safe, the people are kind and trustworthy, and you’ll avoid the risks of dealing with unauthorized drivers.
