No. Drivers know in advance that they are not allowed to turn away folks with service animals. This is part of driver onboarding, and it's the law nationally (at least in the US). If they didn't know, it's negligence on their part for not understanding their responsibilities as a driver.
And on top of that, rides should NOT be more expensive for disabled folks. A blind person shouldn't need to pay more to receive equal accommodation. If there was a material cost (there isn't) the ride services should increase the cost of all rides to accommodate their disabled passengers.
The ADA is extremely clear about this. Have some empathy for folks who didn't have a choice in their situation.
