Thank you for sharing
I would have taken it1.4x--Rider was in car. I told him that I had not been told it was a long trip. I wrote to uber to say that's why I cancelled and they gave me a 4.00 cancel fee.
Going to IAD at 4pm is a deadhead/3 hour r/t back-no thanks.
I only get IAD trips during evening rush hour. Nope.no more.
Just use your DF. Ubers very inconsistent. Next time deactivated!1.4x--Rider was in car. I told him that I had not been told it was a long trip. I wrote to uber to say that's why I cancelled and they gave me a 4.00 cancel fee.

30.00 fare /3 hours =$10.00 hr. Best case 2.5 hrs/$12.00hr.I would have taken it
Welcome to Uber x30.00 fare /3 hours =$10.00 hr. Best case 2.5 hrs/$12.00hr.
Might as well wash dishes.
Actually with the 1.4x more like $40. Put your DF back to DC hopefully grab $15-$20 in return fares and no worse/better.30.00 fare /3 hours =$10.00 hr. Best case 2.5 hrs/$12.00hr.

Not a chance. Reston and Herndon don't go to DC after 4 pm. Tysons might have some, but highly doubt it.Actually with the 1.4x more like $40. Put your DF back to DC hopefully grab $15-$20 in return fares and no worse/better.
It was 20 miles.Some of y'all are complaining about the wrong things. That trip would've taken an hour max, around 24 miles...at least $40 in your pockets. Then after dropping off drive around the suburbs, plenty of rides in Reston and Tysons.
To make $40 in DC, how long and how many rides would it take if each ride took 12 min for 1.8 miles in rush hour.
Don't take things for granted.
A crappy ride is Arlington to Nats Park during rush hour. It was a surge but not high enough. Never again...And it's not a crappy ride. A lot of us would happily take that ride. A crappy ride is from DC to Arlington going through 395. A ride going through 16th st. A ride going through New York Ave. A Union Station ride to Georgetown. Any ride to Georgetown.
Don't be such an a-hole by being so condescending. You didn't read my post.^You should not and don't have to wait at the IAD lot. There are many places you can drive to. Take the exit to Reston Town Center. Go to Vienna. Go to Merrifield. Go to Tysons. Don't drive back on the highway.
Where are you getting 2.5 hours from? It takes an hour max to Dulles. You're doing it wrong if you're deadheading back on the highway and 66. Head east going through the places mentioned above. And even if you deadhead back it shouldn't take 90 min, probably 45 min. So more like 35.00/1.75, putting you at $20/hr, much better than rush hour city driving. You're also doing it wrong if it only takes 20 miles from NW DC to Dulles.

To be clear: I would do this trip all day long except evening rush.1.4x--Rider was in car. I told him that I had not been told it was a long trip. I wrote to uber to say that's why I cancelled and they gave me a 4.00 cancel fee.

I feel you. It's depends on the workload thru out the day, too. If I had been driving for the morning and midday and that trip came up ...I just might be too tired to wing it out there.To be clear: I would do this trip all day long except evening rush.
