Uber vs taxi

[negn]

Sailing out of Vancouver in a couple weeks.  Spending a few days prior in the city.   Just wondering which is better to use.  I assume all fares are in Cad$

Its in Canada. The fares will be in Canadian money.

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but it depends....

 

If you are talking about getting from airport to downtown, then a taxi will likely be cheaper as there are fixed fares. I recently took an Uber home from the airport and it was exactly the same price as my taxi to the airport. 

 

Short trips around town are usually cheaper with Uber, unless there is a peak pricing in effect.

All cabs from YVR have set fares by zones.  There are maps in the cab area which show the various zones.  Give your driver a zone # and address. Pay with a card that doesn't charge a foreign transaction fee... all quite simple.
