The adventures of an Uber in Ibiza are the order of the day… and of the night. So says Carlos, a driver for the app during the high season and a survivor of the island’s prices, as he recounts in an interview on YouTube.
An Uber in Ibiza: between luxury and uncontrolled
Carlos works as an Uber driver in Ibiza during the high season. He assures that the island offers much better wages than on the mainland, but at a high price. “I paid 600 euros a month to sleep on a sofa with no doors in a shared studio,” he says.
But the most surprising part of his story is not the cost of living, but what happens inside his car. Between drunken customers, uncontrolled parties and truly dangerous situations, his job is a roller coaster of experiences.
In an interview for the YouTube channel Fortfast WTF, he has recounted in great detail the most surreal moments he has experienced as an Uber driver in Ibiza. Sex, excesses and fear are part of his daily life.
The first day of work and the unexpected proposal of a threesome
The first day he gets behind the wheel in Ibiza, fate has prepared an explosive welcome for him. It’s 4 a.m. and he picks up four British girls at the Amnesia nightclub. Immediately, they ask him to make a stop at a gas station to buy some food.
While they are there, one of them takes him by the arm and tells him that he is very attractive. He takes it as a compliment without much importance. But when they return to the car, the conversation takes an unexpected turn.
“Remember what I told you before? It was to offer you a threesome,” the passenger tells her bluntly.
Carlos laughs and avoids giving too many details of what happens next. He only confirms that he takes advantage of his 45-minute break to accept the offer. “I’ll never set foot in that company again, so I’ll tell it without a problem,” he says with a smile.
Naked clients and a pool party
It is not the only time he encounters unusual situations. One night, he goes to pick up some clients at a luxury villa. When he arrives, the door opens and a six-foot black man appears , completely naked, with a gold necklace around his neck.
Behind him, two girls, also naked, get out and get into the car without worrying about their lack of clothes.
During the ride, one of them complains loudly. “Jeni, my throat hurts so much, I’ve been sucking I don’t know who’s all night,” she says. Carlos can’t believe what he’s hearing.
But if something characterizes Ibiza is that you can always go a little further. On one occasion, a group of British tourists invites him to their villa after a trip. Since he has 45 minutes of rest, he decides to accept the invitation.
“I turned off the app, stayed in my underwear and jumped in the pool. The house was full of girls,” he says with a laugh.
Biggest scare: a night with armed men
Not every night is fun. On one of his more tense runs, Carlos picks up a passenger who tells him to take him to a secluded area. The ride is on dark roads with no lights or signs. When they arrive, the gate to the villa is open and he decides to enter.
Suddenly, an Eastern European man appears with a gun, banging on the car and asking where it is going.
“I’ve never seen a gun in my life, I come from a village. My balls were laid here,” he confesses, pointing to his neck.
The customer in the back seat starts shouting that he is a VIP, but the driver doesn’t risk it and decides to get out of there at full speed. “I accelerated like never before, I reached the center of Ibiza in five minutes. I squeezed the car to the max,” he recalls with the adrenaline still present.
After that night, he seriously considers whether he should continue working on the island.
The sex worker who almost caused an accident
On another chaotic night, he picks up a woman who appears to be a prostitute. During the ride, she decides to move from the back seat to the front seat, crossing her body over the gearshift.
Suddenly, he puts his ass in her face and starts dancing.
“We’re going to kill each other,” I think. And on top of that, when he arrives at the destination, he gives me a 2 euro tip.” he says with a chuckle.
500 euros for being a tour guide
It’s not all danger and tension in his work. On one occasion, he picks up a Russian tourist who speaks neither English nor Spanish. Throughout the trip, the passenger sticks his cell phone in his face with the translator activated, asking him where he can take his girlfriend to impress her.
Carlos recommends exclusive places and, at the end of the trip, the client pulls out a wad of bills. “Here’s 500 euros for playing TripAdvisor,” he says before getting off.
Ibiza, the island where everything is very expensive
Beyond the anecdotes, the Uber driver explains that Ibiza is an extremely expensive place. Rents, food and leisure are at prices impossible for an average worker.
Ibiza: a “video game” where anything can happen
Carlos sums up his experience on the island with a clear phrase: “This is like a video game. You don’t know what may appear at each turn.
From parties in million-dollar villas to encounters with armed clients, his job as an Uber driver is a roller coaster of emotions.
And although every night is unpredictable, one thing is clear: “Here, what happens in Ibiza, stays in Ibiza… or not”.
