Freenow and uber apps in Athens
I just returned from a trip to Athens and I booked a taxi from a metro station close to the airport because the metro was not coming until another 25 mins and I panicked for my flight .
So I booked a taxi through FREENOW thinking I won’t get scammed as price was fixed. The app charged the maximum estimated fee. The cab driver not only took extra 15 minutes to drop me off - although google maps was showing 12 minutes in total -
he took nearly 30mins . He then stopped for gas saying to me - ohh we have time don’t worry and I won’t charge you for this stop and detour - he then dropped me to the airport after 30 mins overall and as I was rushing to security I noticed that the trip was still running on the app.
After 12 minutes he ended the trip and the app not only charged me the maximum fee but took extra 7 euro as well.
They will always find a way to scam you ! I ve raised this with the app but they aren’t being very helpful
