Using Uber in Hurghada: do you pay the app price or need to offer more?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago

TL;DR

The price shown in the Uber app in Hurghada is more of a suggested fare than a fixed price — drivers often decline trips at that rate, so adding a bit extra helps you actually get a car.

One local resident advises not to rely on the recommended price shown in the app — it's often too low, and if you offer exactly that amount, the driver may simply decline the ride. Better to manually bump up the price a bit before ordering.
