    I switched exclusively to Uber simply because of these factors when travelling to unfamiliar destination. One less thing to worry about in business travel is a huge plus.

    I don't have to pull out my wallet, worry about tips or even talk to the driver. The receipts are conveniently accessible at the end of the month.

    I think the reason is similar to why people simply drive to McDonald's instead of exploring local restaurants.
