Question is, which cab app are you going to download, especially when you're traveling? If you use Uber/Lyft (especially the former), you're practically guaranteed that you'll be able to use it at your destination.

Lyft only operates in the US, so that seems like it's not true at least for one of the two.

Most of American's day to day travel is in the US though. The majority of us "might" travel outside the US for a week or two, but otherwise it's safe to say lyft is in the city you're traveling to.

I'd google "cab app in country <x>". Some places it's not Uber. Vietnam it's Grab, Germany I think you have to use a regular cab.

@tim333, In Germany, you could use, e.g., "MyTaxi" which is now called "FreeNow" since a recent, hilariously bad rebranding attempt(1) by its owner Daimler.
(1) BMW and Daimler will invest $1B in their new joint venture (https://www.your-now.com/) that brings their mobility services under one roof.
