UBER question - Airports?
Posted on 2/10/16 at 10:04 am

Currently stranded in Austin due to not getting a rental because of an expired drivers license. Looks like I can get an UBER X at the airport but do they jack up the cost at airports. If I leave the terminal and walk down the road will it be cheaper??

Only if that city has fixed rates I'd imagine. Uber rates will tell you if they're surging.

Take hotel shuttle from airport, get uber at hotel

Cab or bus to somewhere it's cheaper, then take uber

The app isn't showing me any cost. I'm a noob at this how do I see my estimated fare?

You have to set your pick up spot and destination, then it will have a button for fare estimate.

How much more could it possible cost honestly

I mean how bad do you want to leave the freaking airport?

Really loose use of the word stranded, wouldn't you say?
Posted on 2/10/16 at 10:12 am to Navajo61490
Well I need to go about 50 miles so it's gonna be pricey

Well game plan was to have my own car so I know I have other options but yea stuck in the rental center until I figure out a new plan

Some airports you aren't allowed to use uber as a pickup. You can be dropped off there though.

A ride originating from right across the street from the airport to somewhere else, not from the airport to the gas station.

This is pretty solid advice if you're only getting surge pricing at the airport.
