I can't recall, Link or it didn't happen.

I do understand why people might have Arab phobia, but in Jerusalem probably 40 percent of taxi drivers are Arab if not somewhere close to that , Why would Uber be any different?

Shelly Dadon was murdered by an arab driver.

If I have Uber credits in dollars, can I use those credits in Israel?

Can someone please clarify this few points.

1. can/do U use the same account as in the US, or I need a different account?
2. Is the currency in Shekel? Meaning If ill use my Israeli credit card, will it be a normal Israeli charge, or ill have a foreign charge (as its an american charge).

Tried doing some research. It looks like you could use the same account. Any account credits can only be redeemed in that same currency. Which would mean thatyou can't redeem an American credit is Israel and a Israeli credit in US.

The currency is shekel. In payment options you get to choose which credit card and there you could select which country issued the cc.

So there's no way of getting a fare estimate?
You pay everything via Uber?

I'm pretty sure it's regular taxi prices, maybe SLIGHTLY lower and no estimates. and yes payment is through uber. At this point, exactly the same as Gettaxi, maybe worse because they seem to have less cars.
