Ireland’s most polite taxi passengers live in this Cork neighbourhood

By Yay Cork December 18, 2025

Douglas folk are on the Nice list.

Every year Uber keeps millions of people across Ireland on the move, and drivers get the opportunity to rate their riders along the way. After twelve months of five-star journeys, they’re now revealing which areas of Ireland are top of the class – and one Cork neighbourhood swept the board.

This year, the nicest riders in all of Ireland hail from Douglas, Cork.

They take the national crown for good behaviour and five-star etiquette, having soared up five places from their 2024 podium finish in fifth place.

Hot on their heels are Blanchardstown (Dublin), which rose one place to second, and Castletroy (Limerick), which fell one place to third this year. Other high scorers and new additions to the nice list include Cobh (Cork) and Clontarf (Dublin).

Sligo Town and Oranmore (Galway) return to the list for 2025, while Stoneybatter, Rathmines and Dalkey in Dublin round out the list of areas with the top 10 average rider ratings across Ireland.

“As people head out to celebrate over the busy festive season, taxi drivers across the nation will keep towns and cities moving safely.” said Kieran Harte, General Manager for Uber Ireland.

“Taxi drivers are the heartbeat of Christmas travel – a little extra kindness, patience and respect for drivers goes a long way.”
