More than a year-and-a-half after Hailo took its cab service to Dublin, Uber is finally arriving in the Emerald Isle’s capital city too.

Uber’s driver-for-hire service lets you beckon a classy car with a few clicks of your smartphone and has been expanding wildly in recent times – it’s now available in dozens of cities across 26 countries, with its other recent launches including Tokyo and Moscow.

In a blog post today, Uber confirmed that while Dublin is its next port-of-call, it will remain in a test phase for now, which means a limited number of vehicles are available.
