Rolling the ride-hail dice

We recently took four Dutch gentlemen back to the airport.

Here on business, they described getting an Uber from the airport on their way in and how they were full of regret. So for their return, they asked their hosts to book a dedicated service instead.

As they told it, they’d landed at Birmingham Airport, fresh from Amsterdam, surrounded by four large suitcases, four backpacks, laptop bags and the usual travel pillows…

When a Toyota Yaris rolled up as their ride.

It’s nobody’s fault.
Not theirs.
Not the driver’s.
Not even Uber’s.

They simply requested a ride and were matched with a driver who happened to be nearby.

For one passenger, that’s no problem at all.
But for four grown men with all their kit, that’s the gamble you take when you roll the ride-hail dice.

Great for day to day trips. Maybe not for cross-country adventures.

They made it back to Derby, three across the back, one in the front pressed up against the dash, cases and backpacks piled on laps.

An hour-long game of human and suitcase Tetris.

Sometimes, that’s part of the adventure.
But if you’d rather skip the squeeze, that’s where a pre-booked airport transfer earns its keep.
