Curb a better alternative to Uber or Lyft While Curb is new and will need to improve it's app, it's been a great alternative. I live in Chicago and have been disappointed with both Uber and Lyft. Since they've taken over the market there are much less cabs these days until I found Curb. So far so good, I've used it 4 times and like it much more than Uber or Lyft. It's also a bit cheaper even with a tip for a cab through Curb. Uber and Lyft drivers don't know how to navigate without an app, they often take a longer route or miss a turn or block traffic trying to get over several lanes at the last minute. They're not professional drivers, they do it part time for extra money. Uber and Lyft drivers can't change while enroute like with a cab. Their rates have only gone up since they began. The worst part for for me the app says a car is so many minutes away but takes twice as much time to get to you. The arrival time is quoted sooner than reality, you get there 5-10 minutes later. Bottom line for me: Perhaps Uber and Lyft work well for smaller cities and the suburbs but don't seem to do as well in big cities. I used to walk outside and hail a cab quickly. Now since the market has been changed we ALL have to wait for whatever ride we hail on an app. With Curb I can change my destination, get there in the quickest time, the drivers knows the streets the best at different times of the day, it's a better and cheaper alternative to Uber or Lyft.

1st time user- we were hit with a 30%… 1st time user- we were hit with a 30% up charge for van at MIA airport without notice for 2 person ride and tip would not allow custom amount - defaulting to 20%. Contacted Curb support without any luck for refund. Going back to Uber.

App said, "Payment is Processing. Please Wait" cab driver demanded cash. NYC: After paying with cc the app was stuck on, "Payment is processing. Please wait." The cab driver said the app was not working, and I had to pay in cash. He said he could not give us a receipt. People were impatiently waiting to get in the cab, so we were rushed. Of course, after we paid in cash, I checked my cc, which was also charged.

This is an extremely misleading app This is an extremely misleading app. I used Curb for the first time yesterday. When I booked my ride the cost was shown as $19.00 and it’s temporary hold, was put on my card to secure that amount. When I got my receipt at the end of the ride, the final cost was $29.00! The base price was almost $20.42, not $19.00. Then there were taxes and fees, including a $1.00 fee to use the app (an “improvement surcharge”), totaling $4.00. Finally, my 20% tip was based on the final cost, including the $4.00 in taxes and fees, rather than the base cost. So it ended up costing significantly more than I thought it would be. They need to be a lot more transparent in their pricing structure.

Scan alert The only reason you’re getting a 1 is because I can’t select zero. This was the worst can experience ever. The driver had horrible driving. He overcharged us. He took a long back route to get extra money. I had my gps on and called him out on it and continued to do it. He was rude and disrespectful. This is the reason people don’t use or trust your taxis anymore. Such a shame that your company is scamming people out of money on Christmas. Do not use this company it’s an organized scam unit. They need to be shut down.
