I've taken cabs on business all over the world. I've even bargained with some "gypsy cabs" in New York city.

I've never heard of such a surge charge. I would of thought 4 meant a 4% surge. Not 4X the entire fare.

That's crazy!

It's there, in black and white, for you to read.

If you're dumb enough to not look at the fine print, then that's YOUR problem.

How does the surge charge show up on the Uber app?

This Uber fare calculator have already been used by thousands of people worldwide, since it's designed to easy estimate the Uber surge prices with ease.


http://uberestimator.com/uber-surge-pricing



I have been drunk as shit, used uber during surge pricing, and still intelligent enough to notice the additional charge.

It notifies you of the surge pricing, before you even order the uber.


Rocket science, I know.

Before you even order?

How does Uber know what the surge is going to be if it's before you even order?

Time to ban Uber.

You've obviously never used it before.


You set your pick up location, and destination. Before you hit confirm, it notifies you of surge pricing, if it's in effect.


How do you manage to breathe?

I have a FIVE star rating on Uber after around 400 ride. Thank you.

I have never seen a surge charge.

I do see it says the passenger accpeted the 4 percent surge charge 10 minutes before the Uber arrived and the Uber was an SUV.

I'm guessing this was in the snow storm at some point.

Let's be real here...

Here's what happened...Someone needed to get home, saw the surge pricing when they confirmed the trip AND WENT AHEAD AND DID IT ANYWAY AND THOUGHT STUPIDLY THAT THEY COULD ARGUE THEIR WAY OUT OF IT.

Morton's serves a fine meal. They do. I've eaten there many, many times. But, I only eat there when my contractors are picking up the tab.

I'm aware of their pricing and find it outrageous. So, if it's my money...I "click no" and "refuse the surge pricing" and go and buy steaks and side dishes at the grocery store and cook it myself.

Know the market, know the prices people. Services like Uber give you many chances to opt out before committing to a purchase. When you commit to a purchase...commit to a purchase. Ladies and gentlemen settle their debts and settle them timely. So, either pay the bill OR don't pay the bill and then bitch. You don't get to do both.

^The guy who has no friends.... except for facebook.(The facebook posts that nobody hits the "like" button on.)

I love it. Millennials and Hipsters getting fucked by the system they created.

"....." is a broke ass uber driver, has openly said it in one of his previous posts. I would be pretty pissed too If I had no friends and had to drive people around for $10 bucks an hour.

This is why Conservatives should not use Uber. They don't know how to read fine print, and they cry about it afterwards. How PC they have become.

Still a normal $144 cab ride that is upped to $640?

I am trying to understand your "logic" here. She is the owner of a successful business whose clients have included Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Iridium Satellite, Deloitte, CSC, Marriott International, American Resort Development Association and The Graduate School. She is therefore a liberal? I thought you supported business owners.

No, it's Econ 101.

Still, a $149 cab ride that is upped to $640 because their is snow on the roads?

It would of been cheaper for the person to leave the car at DCA for a week or two, then get Uber.

A hoighty toighty successful business owner should be able to figure out what a ride is going to cost on the Uber site. It is right there that she agreed to the up charge.

That Uber drier drove that bitch 108 miles in a fucking blizzard. That's why there was a surge. Cunt doesn't want to add that part.

The blizzard was over and it was only about 29 miles.

January 25th, the region was in the midst of a snow emergency.

Uber tells you how much its going to cost upfront. That's how much it cost on that day due to road conditions. No one forced her to agree to buy the ride.

By Sunday most people were out on the roads, Monday was completely fine too unless you have a RWD car on slicks

If you could just get out of your neighborhood, you could have driven everywhere in a Smart Car. I was out. Did the car somehow manage to get to her house in two feet of snow or did she walk to a main street?

Were there any flights out of DCA on Monday the 25th?

The whole trip including the uber ride were charged to her cooperate AMEX, so she was going to write everyrthing off anyway - So why is this bitch bitching?

Always, always double check the class of service you select in the Uber app. Though nearly always I use UberX, once in a while the app when opened will for whatever reason (maybe after an app update) presents a higher class of service. I got caught with that once, no surge, so the difference was only between $16 and $35.

Ignore him. He's drunk again.

Uber should have a live fare count and not just an email after the ride is complete

That was Monday. The end of the godamm blizzard. She said she wished she would have given her neighbor $200 to try and get her to the airport. I bet her neighbor said no so she tried to play Uber. I wouldn't have tried to take her stupid ass to the airport for a thousand dollars. Fuck her. Pay the driver.

The end of the blizzard was later Saturday, not Monday

Monday morning at 9am it was 19F and streets were not all clear. I live in a walkable area and I wouldn't have driven anyone to the airport.

She is a member of "Catholic Democrats" and likes Barack Obama... haha awesome


a *Marketing* CEO who probably bills clients $500/hr but doesn't understand the simple pricing structure of a premium service which she agreed to in advance? First World Problems.

Fat overpaid marketing moron trying to shaft an underpaid wannabe cabbie. MURICA

I saw her cover photo. No way by the next day was she dug out. She knew that was gonna be a pricey ride. On another note, her fat ass voted to save Tasty Cake in 2011. Didn't ever know there was a Tastycake crisis.

Look.. You idiot woman. The Govenor said stay off the roads. You wanted to go where? Palm Beach? Some shlub Uber driver took a big risk with HIS vehicle to drag your ass to the airport. Capitalism= Big Risk= Big Reward. He took the risk. Pay the driver you porky bitch.

Libs hate Uber. It's a technological, capitalistic, free market business. Hillary wants them banned.

The fact that she's an obammy worshipper automatically pegs her as a hypocritical braindead moron.

And then she wanted a discount...........After she agreed to the upcharge. She accepted the surge price at 9:28. The ride started at 9:43. If somebody told me I was going to have to pay 4.4 times the usual price, you would be darn sure I would thoroughly investigate this BEFORE jumping in the car.
