I was in Korea a week ago, I needed a ride from Incheon to Seoul. I have used Uber internationally due the appeal of charging it in my credit card rather than haggling with taxi driver, also the safety factor. With that said, you can imagine surprise when my driver dropped me off at my Incheon, asking for cash, I couldn’t communicate due to language issue, but knew enough he wanted cash based on what my profile on uber app said. I have never done nor given the option to pay in cash to the driver. My assumption is the uber driver might have noted on the uber app on his end that I paid on cash.
So im confuse what happen and why? I just need outsider perspective on this and what should I do next. Any advice and recommendation is greatly appreciated.
I think additional context is needed before assumption can be made:
The uber drive did note on my uber receipt that I paid on cash in-person. So, I cannot filed a double charge on the uber driver (I will still check on my credit card that is the case).
The uber driver was using the Kakao taxi when he picked us up. Not sure if its relevant information.
Also, im not sure if its the uber/ taxi driver culture or Uber, but our driver drove really fast and it felt generally unsafe. I know this because speeding sensor on the car beeped couple of time.
