The Guru Take
Uber Safety
Typically Uber is a safe service to use. When you use the service, make sure you are getting into the right vehicle, and keep the driver's personal and vehicle details on hand in case anything were to ever happen.

I just went to look this up, and it is super complex as to what's happening in Germany. It depends on locations and services provided, whether they are supported, not supported or no one knows. LOL.

Isn't U ber banned in Germany. So how can it be safe?
Nah, I think it was only their version of UberX, the UberPop that is banned. They require proper livery licenses and registered vehicles, and they cracked down on it. So basically Uber is being used as the dispatch/request mechanism for existing limo companies and car services.
...sorta makes sense. At the end of the day, thats what they are. (If you take the P2P aspect out of it)
