When you Take a Uber
When you Plugin the Location of where your going
Occasionally you will see a Surge Charge Higher then Normal Cost
Why does that Happen ?
Uber is a Popular App as you know there are many people that use Uber to get around to Places
There are times when they get Busy and Very Heavy when there is Not Enough Drivers Online to Handle the Capacity then Uber Issues a Surge Charge to Try and keep the Wait times Down for Everyone when they go to Request a Uber Ride
Its gonna be a Big Inconvenience
There is nothing we can do about it Really
At least they Warn you Ahead of time when it takes Place
So you can Prepare for the Surge Charge
When is the Popular time for Surge Charges ?
Holidays Especially on Christmas and New Years Eve when a lot of people are gonna be out on the Roads going to Party's they dont want to do Drinking and Driving so to keep them Safe they do a Uber
Bad Weather such as Snow Storms
A lot of people get Off the Roads when there is Bad Weather like Snow Storms or Heavy Winds ETC that can Effect there Ability to Drive Safely on the Roads so they Pull them Self's Off the Roads to keep Safe in that Situation there will be a Lower Amount of Drivers that are Available there for there may be a Surge Charge
How Heavy do Surge Charges get ?
It Depends on how Heavy the Demand is
It can be as High as $40 bucks a Ride for what should be 10-12 bucks or it could be more then that
Not all Surge Charges will get that High but there are some that may
If you dont Want to pay the Surge Charge you can Either take a Taxi or go over to LYFT the Alternative to Uber they dont do Surge Charges they keep the Prices the Same at all times no Matter how Busy they are
