So on my next trip home I will have cause to use a car service several times. Going to be mainly in the Sheffield area. It has been suggested that the Uber Exec service is quite good. So I went to download the app and sign up. Having never used them before getting a first page request for my credit card, made me pause. A quick search online bought up the usual suspects of "the end is nigh"

 

So My questions

 

Are there any tricks to using Uber for a newbie?

 

Millions I presume do enter their credit card details before using , should I jump out the window as well?

 

Has anyone used the exec side in the UK at all?

I don't understand the concern with providing your credit card details, especially with a well known service like Uber. If your account were to get hacked and money spent on your card it wouldn't be difficult getting your bank to perform a chargeback, especially if it was fraudulent spending?
