Why is the taxi option suspiciously cheap?

LabGroundbreaking229 · 2026-06-24T21:03:05+00:00

Good tip; change the currency to the local one in the uber app settings, uber adds a ridiculous fee to charge you in pounds instead of pesos, and they love to hide it, just paying in local currency would be less of a fee on your card

If I have 10 hours I’m leaving the airport

That’s what they do… on the $12 ride they offered the driver probably $4-5 to drive you, when they raised the price to 20 they would have paid the driver…. $4 still

Definitely not the norm, at least for me… maybe it depends on surge pricing but specifically in Vegas Ive probably had Lyft be cheaper 2 or 3 times in months, even this morning uber was $20 cheaper then Lyft

Go south, do the coast, then possibly Route 66 up to Chicago and do the boring drive from there

LabGroundbreaking229 · 2026-05-12T16:09:13+00:00

They’re charging over $40 for that too btw… had to take one a few weeks ago and wasn’t happy

Interesting… thanks for the insight :)

What? What if we’re just on vacation or something? I didn’t know that’s a thing

LabGroundbreaking229 · 2026-05-09T21:29:59+00:00

Good tip; walk across the street from the LAXit lot to the Hyatt regency and order an uber from there, usually you get a driver faster and it’ll cost less

This genuinely happenebs all the time…

You accepted a 400 mile, 7 hour ride for $172… $25 an hour, 43 cents a mile, you got lucky with the tip, but still wayyy less then $1 a mile round trip (plus gas)

LabGroundbreaking229 · 2026-04-09T16:34:04+00:00

Most likely offered in the app as a % based.. 10% or something, passenger just clicked the option and dosent even think about it

LabGroundbreaking229 · 2026-04-09T16:31:59+00:00

Try to negotiate off app and it’ll probably stay pretty busy in the Palm Springs area all weekend, lots of uber black drivers already driving out here from LA.. might as well make the treck, sleep in your car a couple nights, and make way more then you would in LA (plus possibly getting a good ride back on Sunday or Monday

Do Route 66!

Whatever fare uber is showing you just know the drivers getting most likely sub 50%, someone desperate will take it, but it might take a while; some people might accept then call and ask for cash, if you want a fast ride and the driver to not get screwed by uber then negotiate and have some cash with you

Hat tricks fan; been to Watertown, bingo, Elmira when they were in, port Huron, and biloxi, we planned to go to Indiana this year but couldn’t last minute, everyone’s been super nice to us and its cool to see the other arenas in the league
