When I googled this, there were a lot of results of people being charged _more_ than the quoted price. But very little about _less_.

I’ve had to use Uber to get to work the past few weeks. At least 3-4 times per week, when I get my receipt after completing the ride, the price is significantly less. Example: This morning I was quoted $12.38. I was actually charged $7.81. Yesterday I was quoted $11.15 and was charged $9.38. etc. etc. I’m leaving my house at 7:30am so it’s a busy time. If anything i’d expect to get hit with surge pricing and charged more.

I’m certainly not complaining, just wondering if anyone knows why this may be? No, I don’t have any active promos.
