    Would you rely on Uber for an early airport run?

    I'm going overseas on Saturday morning and am thinking of making my first Uber booking. The cost is a bit less than if I use a taxi but should I be worried that the Uber car doesn't turn up?

    Where we live which is 45mins from the airport we get a limo Is actually only $10 more than a shuttle and only the two of us.

    When we came back from USA plane was 5 hours late but Limo driver was still there waiting because his idiot boss didnt relay the call I made from Noumea to say we had been diverted for fuel.

    Great service.

    Lots of companies do. I had a very bad 4am taxi experience to the airport and never used them again, the private company is barely anything more.

    Perhaps you mean a Limo Company Not a private car as with your neighbour or a friend

    Yes taxis can be a bit suss , got a taxi from Sydney airport to Kirrawee back in the early 2000s the whole time during the trip the driver was on his phone to his local Iman . God knows what they were discussing but I am sure it wasn't anything suspect .
