I would be happy to do that but my experiences were not good
for example my drivers did not know where big places like Fereshteh 24 mall and Shandiz Galleria restaurant were (I tried to help direct them but they were not interested...) and dropped me off very far away
one of them got lost taking me to Saadabad Palace and took the wrong route and tried to charge me extra because of the different route! like it's my fault he got lost going to one of the most famous sites in Tehran lol
some of the others did not have working AC and drove like a lunatic and almost crashed
Im sorry but that's kinda your own fault. You need to use Google maps to accurately pinpoint where you are and where you want to go, and align all that with the map on the Snapp! app. If you have an Iranian sim it uses your location pretty accurately enough for your pick up point, but it's on you to set your drop off location accurately. Because, in doing so, the pin you drop on the map gets linked to the navigation system which all the snap drivers use. I never had any issues getting picked up or dropped off, and I used snapp 3 or 4 times a day at times.
Yeah the snap "ba sarfe" option usually will get you a run down 206, Saipa or Pride. But you get what you pay for. If you pay 15-20% more you can get the snap "vijeh" or ecoplus, where you get newer and bigger cars. Or you can pay even more and get pretty much the same with ajance or yellow cab.
I used snap to go from Rasht back to Tehran with the "beyne shahri" service. I had to wait 15 minites until a guy picked up the order by chance in a pretty run down 206. It cost us 1.3mil but he drove fast and got us there in 4.5 hours including a mandatory stop in Roodbar! Going to Rasht we paid 150,000 toman each for an old Iran Khodro coach which stopped at a dozen places at the request of the passangers, so a 4.5hour journey became 7 hours! The seats where so uncomfortable that my ass got calluses. Never again.
Also everyone drives badly in Iran, so I can't hold that against anyone there...it's the way it is.
