No it isn’t. It shows the price of the ride in the local currency

What BCG 1 is referring to, is the charges that show up on your credit card statement.

Yes you can. I do that frequently

Oh nice...so the conversion is done and shown to me in $$.. that would be nice to look at such a low amount.;)

Make sure the card linked to your uber doesnt charge a foreign transaction fee. Or else you ll end up paying a fee for every transaction. You ll not see that on uber app but in your cc statement

Yep just used in Gurgaon a couple days ago! Pretty sweet. Works just like home, seamlessly no complaints!
Oh and might I add - it worked fine on my TMo 256kbps roaming too

Second that.

Yes. I have done that a ton in Delhi and Gurgaon.

Yep..you will be charged in dollars.. I used my chase card

You have the option to pay by cash as well in case you don't have a CC that offers 0 foreign conversion fee.

Hello People,
Looking for advice based on experience. Currently living with in-laws that have come to support us with our first baby. My in-laws and I have had a rocky start to our relationship due to ours being an inter-religion marriage. Many things have been said that I’m neither able to forgive nor forget. I have a very kind husband who understands my sentiments but wants to try to have a cordial relationship with them now for the sake of our baby (and baby’s relationship with grandparents)
