I’ve used Uber in cities like Bangkok and Madrid without issues, but I’ve also heard horror stories—fake drivers, overcharging, even safety risks. In some places, rideshares feel like the safest option, but in others, I wonder if I should stick to taxis or public transport. I always double-check the license plate and share my ride, but sometimes I still get that uneasy feeling, especially in a new country. What about you? Do you trust rideshares when traveling, or do you have a go-to alternative that feels safer?

Grab and bolt are great in Asia. Uber and Cabify in the EU. I trust ride share more due to digital footprint / traceability —taxis are the sketchy ones these days.
