This whole: "pay upfront whatever happens" is a joke.
Yeah, but at Logan only the registered drivers can pick up at the airport, so I'd definitely shoot them an email. The driver is playing you for someone that is so naive that they won't even check their email to see the final fare. If it was a new driver driving Uber X in the city I'd say it could be a driver's mistake, but as of now only the registered drivers can pick up at BOS.

That driver definitely knows how to end the trip properly.
