Carol28 Posted September 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2019 In some cities, it is better to use one service over another. We discovered this on our last vacation. I realize this is not a HAL topic, but I bet someone might know the answer and I didn't know where else to ask the question. Which is better in Quebec City? Uber or Lyft?

Woofbite Posted September 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Personally, I'd go with the cheapest. Most drivers seem to work for both companies so odds are you get the same person whichever one you choose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted September 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2019 We arrived at 10pm in Quebec and took a taxi from the airport to the hotel. The hotel called a taxi for us to the ship several days later. No Lyft or Uber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted September 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Our friends used Uber in QC on Sep 15th. I don't know if Lyft is available in QC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because both are not only cheaper than taxis, both are better than taxis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, tell that to the 14 women suing Lyft for sexual assault: https://people.com/crime/lyft-sued-14-women-sexual-assault/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dag144 Posted September 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Sexual assault can happen on taxis as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vms Posted September 27, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I used Uber multiple times in Quebec City on September 15th without issue. It was a must for us for disembarkation as we were not at the main cruise terminal due to 6 ships being in port that day, so we weren't close to any of the tourist attractions and the cab line had to be 300+ people. We were able to get a ride within 10 minutes every time we requested one, although we did have to pay some multiplier fares due to heavy demand. I don't use Lyft, so I can't comment on price/ease of obtaining one. If you are disembarking in Quebec City, you can store your luggage at the cruise terminal until 5 pm for a charge of $CAN 5 per bag. They were very kind to us and let us wrap a smaller bag around the handles of a roller bag and call that "one bag". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pull up both and compare rates and then hit the button for the best rate. It has not failed us yet. (We no longer use a taxi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneault Posted September 29, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hi. I'm a quebec resident and I don't think that Lyft is available yet, but Uber is available I use it often. If I remember correctly Lyft was supposed to start there operation in Quebec in 2019, but I didn't see any updates on that since a couple of months. If you want to get an uber at the airport, there is pickup location for rideshare under the footbridge between the terminal and the covered parking. Have fun and I wish you envoy Quebec City and your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know if they were available. Since we were arriving late, we called the hotel in advance and they advised taking one of the taxis waiting outside the terminal.

sail7seas Posted September 30, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Most responses here made price the determining factor. While that may matter, IMO, it is not all that matters. Especially like here when there likely is a very small difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
