TL;DR
InDrive drivers in Sharm El Sheikh sometimes try to drop passengers mid-ride, claiming they're not allowed into certain areas (e.g. Dolce Vita) — insist firmly that they complete the trip as booked.
One traveler reports InDrive is usually fine, but once a driver tried to stop mid-route claiming he wasn't allowed into the Dolce Vita area. Passengers refused to get out and he ended up completing the trip.
Another traveler ordered a ride from the Soho area, but the driver arrived on the wrong side of the square and couldn't understand directions in English. She cancelled the ride and took a local unofficial taxi instead.
A passenger says the driver drove halfway then suddenly claimed he wasn't allowed to continue and asked them to get out. She insisted he finish the trip — he did, but later sent an angry WhatsApp message claiming the ride caused him trouble at work.
