Who doesn't have the Uber app on their phone? In 2024, a race has been recorded as the most expensive of the year in France and she left from Nice airport (Alpes-Maritimes). On June 26, this client had to urgently go to Geneva, Switzerland.

The amount billed amounted to… 1246,19 eurosinform the services of the American multinational.

He orders an Uber after his canceled flight

2024 has been a positive year for Uber. In a press release, the American multinational details its results in France. Still widely used, the application seems to be doing wonderfully with 176 different nationalities. But one ride in particular caught his eye.

On June 26, a user must go “to Geneva on the morning of June 27”. He then orders a ride from Nice airport after canceling your flight“the last of the day”. The Nice resident then enters an Uber Van. Amine is driving.

He says:

The journey went well, I had about 6 hours of driving, with breaks from time to time so that we could stretch our legs. The passenger was very nice and offered to help me find a hotel, but I preferred to go to Annecy to sleep there, before going back down to Nice the next day.

A (very) hefty bill

And inevitably, after six hours of driving and a journey of more than 600 kilometers, the bill was steep. The amount collected was 1246.19 euros, the most expensive Uber ride recorded in France in 2024.

More generally, the people of the Riviera are among the most generous: in fact, biggest tip left by a French passenger this year was given in Cannes, during an Uber Confort trip to Vallauris, on September 25. The user paid an additional 106 euros to thank the driver. The journey alone was only 28 euros.
