They charge 2 different prices at the same time for the same ride to 2 different people. And they aren’t clear about this.
I didn’t say it’s a con and sometimes they charge less. But it’s certainly a practice that makes me skeptical and check out other services.
- sjg007 8y agoI am pretty sure that Amazon.com and Sears.com do this too.
- nemo44x 8y agoFor different locations, yes. But if my wife and I, at the same time and same location try and buy the exact same thing, we are given the same price. This is a case of Uber using a variety of algorithms to determine just how much they can get out of you. I prefer the old surge pricing model where it was a conscious choice to overpay. But however clever they may think they are I’m not fooled by their fake market pricing. Only now do I look for cabs and have accounts on competitors when I’m sure Uber is mispricing actual market value.
