if my initial experience is
anything to go by, nicer cars, nicer drivers and cheaper. What's not to

I used Uber Lux for a ride across London recently. Very nice. Wondered
if the driver was doing a little moonlighting with his employer's
vehicle, but that's his business.

I'm not sure if the rules for Uber Lux are different, but my
understanding is that Uber drivers use their own vehicles.

In the UK? Hire car law would make that rather difficult, AIUI.

What? Most "minicabs" (outside of certain brands like Addison Lee) use
owner drivers, and about half of London taxis have owner drivers.
