Just a tip if you call for a Uber while in the confines of Sumter County you will endure a surge charge no matter what time of the day it is.

Initiating your trip from Lake or Marion is always cheaper.

I don't know the reason why but I would love to know why.

Is that ever a problem?

- If there are few drivers available and the same $9 ride I took earlier now costs $30, what am I receiving that is worth an extra $4 in tips?

The value you receive is you have the service....when the drivers don't make the wage they need they stop driving and we are left without service. Then we complain there is no service. Same reason stores go out of business.....we are responsible. Then we complain there aren't any stores as we merrily buy online.

That is originally how Uber started out then had to allow tips.

Nearly two-thirds of Uber customers don’t tip their drivers, study says - The Verge

While getting a ride from MCO back to TV, discussed Uber an Lyft with the driver, Driver told us that there are not many Uber and Lyft drivers in TV because most of the requested rides were short and not worth their time and money for short rides and the client hardly tipped them.
