Where I am they are few and far between, will definitely take longer to arrive (if they arrive - no way to know if they are coming or not) and will be more expensive. They drivers will also almost certain try to long-trip you, hassle you for more tips, etc.
Uber isn’t perfect but it’s way, way better than a taxi here
Where I am there are taxis you can hail and prebooked. The hail taxis don't come out here unless someone takes one out from the city, and the prebooked ones can only really be booked well in advanced. However I can summon an uber immediately.
