Paris - Uber / taxi Apps

6 replies

Can anyone who has been to Paris fairly recently advise me whether it’s easy to get Ubers in Paris, or whether there is a similar taxi App that is used more frequently.

I’ve got a problem with my left leg and finding it very uncomfortable to walk at the moment. Due to be spending a few days in Paris in around 4 weeks’ time and worrying a little about how we will get around - I’m not sure I’ll be up to walking between bus/tram stops. Thanks.

Super easy to uber. I did notice that my uber rating declined after a week of Ubers in central Paris (working). I’m an excellent passenger - but my French is poor and I wonder if that earned me a lower rating.

Yes very easy to Uber, it’s just as you would in the UK. It didn’t seem crazy expensive and lots of Ubers available

Thanks both - feeling a lot less concerned now.

I see a lot of people on Disneyland Paris groups recommending Bolt as being cheaper than Uber and just as good.

Thanks @snoopyfanaccountant. I do have the Bolt app so that’s useful to know.

I use Uber locally and in London. I wasn't aware customers were rated until I looked just now. Hidden in account details. The only place I've heard of doing that before is AirBnB. I will still use it from time to time, but the idea of a customer rating is a terrible concept
