How do you pay for an Uber UK?

Ugh, paying for Uber in the UK – it's always a bit of a faff, isn't it? I remember once, I was completely panicked because I'd forgotten to set my card as the default, and I was stuck trying to fiddle with my phone while this poor driver was waiting, bless him. Anyway, you've got a couple of ways to do it.

Cash? Yeah, you can pay with cash, I guess. But honestly, it's not very common these days, is it? I haven't done it in ages. Feels a bit old-fashioned somehow. Most people use cards, right? Definitely easier. You need to, like, set it up before you even think about ordering a car, or you'll be in the same boat as me that time.

So, cards it is, then. How do you actually do that? It's pretty straightforward, though: open up the app – you know, the Uber app – find the menu thing (it usually has three little lines, or something) and then go to "Payment methods". That's where you add your debit or credit card details. Super simple, once you've actually found it! Make sure you do it before hailing a cab or else you'll be left scrambling like a headless chicken. Trust me on this one. Learned it the hard way.
