It's 20 cents/minute. If someone was pissed off enough to write a 500 word+ rant on FT, do you think a $6 credit would appease them?

If the OP had taken this route before (which is clearly indicated), and the driver was going around and around, I would certainly have stopped them much earlier and turned on my GPS.

As mentioned before, if this were a taxi, you would be screwed and stuck footing the bill.

Chalk this up as a learning experience, and move on.
