Uber has been doing successful business in India rivaling the home-grown cab sharing startup Ola. Uber has succeeded in India because it has not followed its US strategy and have catered to Indian specific needs. However, there are some Indian specific features that Uber still lacks, the biggest being the lack of a pay later option. While Ola has its own pay later option, companies like Swiggy and Zomato have tied up with third-party pay later services to bring this feature. Uber is not doing either of these things. However, there is a way you can enable pay later services on Uber which allows you to take rides first and pay for them later. If you are interested, here is how you can use pay later on Uber.
Note: Currently this is only going to work on Android devices.
