In these cases of very high demand, prices may increase to help ensure that those who need a ride can get one. This system is called surge pricing, and it lets the Uber app continue to be a reliable choice.
Why is my Uber fare higher than my friends?
That's because of our dynamic pricing algorithm, which adjusts rates based on a number of variables, such as time and distance of your route, traffic and the current rider-to-driver demand. Sometimes, this can mean a temporary increase in price during particularly busy periods.
