Decent money. Shame we can't have price surging instead of poxy €40 bonuses, particularly given that the bonus barely covers the freight charged to earn the bonus.

Yes Uber are here operating in Ireland.
There is 2 options on the app, Uber Taxi and Uber Black
One is for taxis and the other for a limo.
They operate as per the NTA guidelines, not like FN who farm out your work to hacks masquerading as limos and limos trying to be fancy

Unfortunately taxis can't charge more than the metered fare so Uber can't implement surge pricing in Ireland... stupid really, a bricky will want at least a ton an hour (cash in hand) when demand is high but plenty of them would work for less than 30 notes an hour during the recession... supply and demand.
