uber & lyft rideshare ripoffS !!!!!!!!!
Look at these shocking predatory charges by the on-demand TNC Rideshare Apps both here in the Seatac Airport & Seattle areas, as well as outside areas. Just a few examples of how you may be gouged & fleeced if you wait to order a ride with them exactly when you need it. Both you AND your Uber or Lyft driver will be ripped off & cheated as they charge you DOUBLE, TRIPLE, OR EVEN MORE yet pay their poor hardworking drivers UNDER MINIMUM WAGE for these exhorbitantly priced trips. Don’t make them & their investors even richer with your hard earned money! SoftBank, Fidelity, Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, & BlackRock (Uber & Lyft’s biggest investors) are all wealthy enough with their over $45 BILLION invested JUST in Uber!
Every time you order you just help the rich get richer. These are really just Wall St’s gypsy cab companies.
$539 charge for a $51+ taxicab ride by Uber?! 700% or $450+ more than a private Airport Black Car?!
The choice is obvious when comparing the 2 options now. No longer are these predatory lawless on-demand apps the cheaper more convenient option anymore.
$101.99+ charge for a $50+ taxi cab ride to Downtown Bellevue on Lyft?!
Same car, same trip, but somehow more than DOUBLE the price of a $50+ taxi cab ride to downtown Bellevue??? And 60% or $53+ more than a private Black Car reservation to DT Bellevue as well????
For inexperienced & unlicensed & non fully-vetted non-professional drivers, with poorly maintained & substandard quality cars????
Where is the benefit or reason to use these rideshare apps anymore???? It isn’t just Uber who is overcharging & putting out a substandard fleet with amateur non-professional drivers, but Lyft as well.
Uber Ripoff #2 $121.74 for a $54 taxicab ride?! 38% or $33+ more than a private Black Car also?!
It just doesn’t make any sense at all to choose an on-demand gig app to get the exact same service & product, OR WORSE, for SO MUCH MORE!!!!
avoid expensive ride share rates & charges
Unlike Rideshare Companies Uber & Lyft, we DO NOT:
Charge for our cars travelling to pick you up. ( Rideshare companies charge a minimum of $3.00-$10.00/mile on their way to pick you up, and then $3.00-$10.00/mile while driving you. Their per-minute charges total $49.20/hour! Along with their regular rate of $2.74/mile with no traffic on the freeway, higher than regulated taxi cab rates! )
Charge an excessive $60/hour in typical city traffic (mileage, time, & base fare), while the same ride in a taxi cab would only cost you around $16. Nearly 4 times the price!
Charge variable “booking fees”, or “long-distance pickup fees”, which can be as high as an additional $10-15 depending on time and distance.
Charge $7.25 “cancellation fees” even when their drivers do not even come close to your pickup location or attempt to pick you up!
Charge expensive “Surge” or “Prime-Time” charges (which mostly don’t even go to their drivers) during peak demand times, as well as an endless amount of so-called surcharges & made-up fees that keep increasing each year! By choosing a regulated licensed taxi cab & commercial car, you get the same dependable rates, 24/7.
Charge an excessive $7.88 MINIMUM FARE. The minimum fare with all licensed, regulated taxi cabs in the City of Seattle & King County is only $2.60! Over $5 in savings even before the trip actually begins & the car starts moving!
