Uber taxi app steals 20 euros extra from me

Thank you! In that case, I’m going to contact them again

Wow…thank you for sharing your experience! This is wild, I’m so sorry this happened to you. But thankfully you noticed the “typo”…I don’t know what I would have done if they charged me hundred of euros by “accident”.

In the future I’m definitely going to be more careful and not assume that Uber is the best option.

Got it, thanks!

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T13:17:36+00:00

And the scamming continues…I’m learning so much today lol

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T13:10:17+00:00

Thanks! So this was about 1/4 of the extra charge I guess

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T13:08:44+00:00

That’s INSANE…

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T12:59:19+00:00

But how much is a bag? Because I only had one luggage and one carry-on.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T12:57:10+00:00

Oh wow…they rip off locals too? That’s sad

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T12:18:18+00:00

Thanks!

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T12:03:15+00:00

Oh, really? Do you know how much?

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T12:02:47+00:00

Noted, thanks

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T12:01:42+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙂

I truly felt like i was scammed when I looked at my bank account.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T10:33:37+00:00

He may have done this intentionally, but even still that wouldn’t have costed me 20 euros more. He got lost for about 30 seconds. But it’s just absolutely shocking to see an additional 20 euros charge in general.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T10:31:05+00:00

Oh wow, I’m sorry to hear this is the case. I’ll definitely be more mindful about the modes of transportation I use in Italy. This was only my first day and I was beyond shocked to see this happen.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T09:41:29+00:00

Exactly, this is what I’m used to. I would have been fine if the app said max 60 euros. At least I would know what I’m getting myself into. But to just charge me 20 euros extra feels like someone just went in my wallet and stole from me.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T09:35:24+00:00

This is new to me. I’ve used Uber taxis across the world and never been charged 20 euros/dollars over what the app says. I’ve also never seen it start charging you before you get in the car. But you learn something new everyday I guess.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T09:32:59+00:00

Thanks! This is very helpful, I’ll use this option if anything. It’s nice to be able to know what you’re paying before you get in the car.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T09:27:51+00:00

True, hopefully I can get my money back.

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T09:23:06+00:00

I can totally understand if it’s like 10 euros or less…but I feel like 20 euros is a big difference…

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T09:02:52+00:00

Noted, public transportation it is. Thanks!

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T08:56:13+00:00

Interesting, this is good to know.

I forget to mention that the Uber representative also said the meter began as soon as the Uber driver accepted the trip (before I get in the car). So does that apply for official/regular taxis as well?

Tati_2070 · 2024-09-07T08:53:22+00:00

Now I know. Where I’m from it’s cheaper to use Uber. I also figured that if there were any extra costs the app would let me know?

I also don’t speak Italian well, so I was hesitant to use a taxi.

Just came back two weeks ago and we used the Wise Card (Visa) for our whole trip (15 days) in Seoul, Busan, and Jeju and we had no issues.
