Used Uber since it was invented...

• Uber does charge more money during busy times (rush hour), inclement weather, and availability of cars
• Lyft is a bit cheaper, but also has surge pricing. They send promotions often, but there are far fewer Lyft drivers in general.

I use both services these days... For either service... ALWAYS TIP (if you can) because the drivers are not paid that much. But, both apps are really convenient and I rely on them every week.
