I figure they probably are but didn't know how much and if it fluctuates with time. Trying to catch one from Acadian in about an hour.

Use Lyft. I think they have 50% of weekend.

Click on the app and see. They will let you know since you have to confirm you understand and accept the surge pricing.

Uber is paying their drivers right now $22 per hour, now until 6 p.m.

At 10 p.m. tonight, Uber drivers can make $45 per hour.

These are just guaranteed fares for their drivers, normally does not apply.

Uber is trying to attract enough drivers to meet the demand today. Otherwise if they can't, surcharges will be through the roof.

Why make a thread and ask this? Open the app and look for yourself, it tells you the price

Close and try again in 5 minutes, that is what I did and got a ride 5 bucks cheaper. Of course I had a driver charge me 5 bucks after HE cancelled on me.

Requires 1.5 trips driven / hour minimum.

That's really about it.

Yes

It's a minimum guarantee, if you earn more than the hourly guarantee then you don't get the per hour on top of fares
