Prefer drivers your hotel or a friend names with a real plate and phone. First ride short and daytime; save live location sharing for people you already met.

Agree the day rate in writing in the chat before the morning pickup. Vague tomorrow uncle promises are how plans melt.

App rides still win for one-off city hops. WhatsApp drivers make more sense for a pre-agreed multi-stop day once trust exists.
