I thought the airport fare on Uber was a flat fare (plus tolls) - has that changed? Also Uber automatically adds the tolls (based on route) to the fare so don't make the mistake I did once of handing cash to the driver (like you do with a taxi) to pay the tolls. Either the driver didn't know or didn't know how to tell me I would be charged automatically - so paid twice (but eventually uber corrected this).


The Uber fare estimate includes tolls. The driver pays and they get logged in the receipt.

I thought the airport journey itself was a flat fee, but my journey was billed as kilometres and time.
