So in this particular case, I was going to the airport like at four in the morning
matched
And I'm like, all right, I really, I need a car here.
matched
And the reservation fee was $19.31.
matched
That's not the fare, by the way.
matched
The base fare was $23.39.
matched
So it's really just something that people need to be aware of.
matched
You know, when you book a ride, whether it's reserved or not, they do give you the upfront price.
matched
So these aren't surprise things at the end.
matched
You just have to know that sometimes there's a premium for reserving a ride.
matched
It's really steep.
matched
I mean, it really it really did floor me.
matched
Do you know what I'm saying?
matched
Like, I just feel like what I've done since then, I've maybe taken only one reserved or scheduled ride since then, because what I found is just get up a little bit earlier and do one on demand.
matched
You build in your own little cushion rather than paying this very steep premium to Uber or Lyft.

This was a ride from my house to the airport, which is 14 miles away.
matched
And there was a $19.31 reservation fee because I reserved it in advance, a $7.61 booking fee, $4.75 airport surcharge, and the fare was $23.39.
matched
There's plenty that are mandated by the government or imposed by local governments and airports.
matched
The airport surcharge is one that people will see on almost every ride to and from the airport.
matched
But the booking fee and the reservation fee in the case of Uber, those are both company fees.
matched
Lots of people do.
