Uber operates in Korea as "UT", a joint venture with local taxis — but everyone uses Kakao T instead. Kakao T has an English interface, more drivers, metered fares and card payment, making it the best ride-hailing option for visitors.
Fares are regulated and reasonable: base fare around ₩4,800 in Seoul. International taxis with English-speaking drivers can also be booked at the airport.
