Am i the only one that finds Uber a lot more expensive then local, traditional taxi rivals?
In the UK just outside London Uber's quotes last Friday and Saturday night were 50%-100% hire then other competitors.

E.g. in my area sometimes it's much cheaper than its competitors (up to 20% difference) and MUCH cheaper than a standard call taxi (up to 50% difference), sometimes it's a double from competitors prices. You just have to catch the right moment. I even have an application for my local region which estimates prices in different services right now and suggests the cheapest option.
Abroad (in countries like India) Uber (or similar services, e.g. Ola) is the easiest way to get an honest price without heavy bargain (which is also time consuming) and complicated explanations where you wanna get.
