Upfront cash premium negotiation techniques

The pax help section used to have a paragraph that stated that drivers may charge them a return fee for long trips. This was sort of "permission" by Uber for drivers to charge a return fee.

Around two years ago Uber not only removed that paragraph, they added a clause to the driver contract that expressly forbids drivers from charging any additional fees from pax.

By the way, when I did rideshare, I accepted three long trips but cancelled all three because the pax refused to pay me a cash-upfront return fee.
 
Permits and commercial insurance are of course necessary expenses if you do private rides.
I wonder if they aren't also necessary if a driver negotiates an extra payment from an uber customer
Given the fact that Uber previously gave tacit permission (pax help section stated that drivers may charge a return fee for long trips), it's unlikely there would be any legal or insurance ramifications so long as the driver took the pax to the destination on the app.
