If we haven’t met yet, I won’t travel unless the Uber is paid for. I prefer to make this clear from the start: it’s a necessary condition for me to go, not something we can sort out once I’m already on my way. If your proposal is for me to travel without that payment, let’s not waste each other’s time. And if you’re serious, have it ready before asking me to come. That way, we avoid misunderstandings and it’s clear from the very beginning how travel arrangements work.
