At 2 o’clock this morning i learned about the practice of ‘longhauling’ first hand, whereby an Uber driver takes you on a needlessly long route to increase their fare.
I think the driver thought i was a tourist and didn’t know where I was going (it was an airport trip) - and took an indirect route twice as long subsequently costing twice as much.
Managed to get a refund fairly quickly as Uber seem to know this is a problem - but something to watch out for.
