Back in the days I drove, when I found out a trip was going well out of the market, I simply told the rider I would only make the trip if they agreed to throw some extra cash my way to cover my deadhead back to Charlotte. I even made up a chart that I carried in the car showing my additional "return trip rate" to various cities around the Carolinas and Virginia.
Only had one person ever refuse. Typically got $40-$60 extra for trips to areas like Durham, Greensboro, Asheville, Columbia and the like.
The one lady that refused got pi$$ed and one-starred me. Fortunately, the guys at the greenlight hub said I had the right to negotiate for extra in a situation like that and got the one-star removed.
