Are you planning to visit any unknown location? Are you confused about which is the best option for that? Then UBER cabs should be your perfect match. Founded in 2009, UBER has become giant in taxi business & I don’t say it blindly. Here are some stats regarding this, UBER has now covered 83 countries and over 674 cities. 77% of US residents prefer UBER over any other mode of transport, which tells you about the impact of UBER. In fact, in 2016, the revenue of UBER was around $20 billion.
Everyone of us has experienced a scenario where we tend to forget our valuables in the UBER while traveling and that I tell you, would create a moment or two of panic because there is a special emotion related to that particular thing. Now the question that arises in your mind straight away is, How can I recover my lost items in UBER? The answer is very simple, you can contact the driver using the UBER app of your friend or relatives & he/she would agree on a specific time where you can meet him/her and get back your valuables.
But there’s always a twist in the tail! Which also applies to the lost item in UBER. Last year the company has announced that,
“ You have to pay $15 to get your lost luggage back from the driver”
This decision was taken on the basis of the complaint by the driver which stats about the difficulty in tracking down the customer for returning his/her items. This rule has only been applied in the US. In India, it has no relevancy at least for now.
Now According to a Survey conducted by UBER especially for Indian people, which they named as Lost & Found index, Here are some interesting insights which are worth looking at.

Now you would be thinking about, what’s the big deal with losing an item? Everyone does it & then recovers it most of the time and that too without paying any money if you are in India. But hey, let me put some insights regarding this for you.
According to a survey by the reputed organization,
“An average People spends 2.5 days annually for finding their lost items”
In terms of money all the Americans collectively spend around $2.7 billion annually for replacing the lost items. This shows us that how big the impact of lost items would be in our daily life.
