Uber cars
So they have launched in Doha with a fleet of mercs, BMW's and other reasonable stuff. You use your smart phone to book and for the driver to find you and the charges seem reasonable. I signed up, gave them my CC details and I never pay cash, they just charge card for every journey.
Its seems like a great idea in theory but has anyone used them before as they are in UAE and worldwide.

Re: Uber cars
Careem takes bookings ahead of time, but Uber is more about immediate use. We've used then once and they were fine, but I still have Blackberry so can't use Uber myself.
