About this trap

Travel advice for South Africa warns that scammers target e-hailing users in big cities, and unregulated drivers pose as app drivers, especially at airports. Order through the app, wait in a safe spot, then check the plate and driver details before you get in. Use the designated pick-up area the app shows, and avoid requesting a car right beside metered taxi ranks, where drivers have clashed with app drivers.
