pickUP Barbados

Found it very easy to use and rides always come on time. Issues come about after it auto pays when using my credit card. A menu pops up that keeps asking me to pay although it’s automatically charged already. So in order to get out I have to close the app completely. Other than that the app saves me a lot of trouble trying to find a taxi when I need one. Most regular drivers become unreliable. This way I am at least sure I can get a ride.

I do not like to give drivers negative feedback (unless they are complete jerks) and often times just won’t leave feedback if they weren’t great. This app will not let you not leave feedback. I tried exiting and reopening and it kept going back asking me to rate. I ended up leaving a 5 star rating for someone I wasn’t impressed with just so I could use it again. Driver wasn’t bad, but was a bit reckless (very common in the Caribbean). I don’t think he necessarily deserved a bad review, but also didn’t feel he earned a 5 star rating. I preferred to not leave a review, but was forced to just to keep using the app.

What a great step forward in the Barbados experience. We’re here or 3 weeks and decided to forego a rental car for this visit, relying instead on buses and taxis. This ride hailing app has been excellent for times when the bus wasn’t appropriate. Worked perfectly! Drivers showed up within a few minutes of our request! Way easier than asking the hotel or restaurant to call you a cab. We’ll continue to use it a lot.
