Post subject:  UBER Starts accepting ADVANCE bookings
Transport app Uber has allowed customers in London to book journeys up to 30 days in advance.
Until now, passengers could order a car only when they were ready to ride.
Passengers may still be charged a higher "surge price" at the time of their scheduled ride if there is high demand for Uber vehicles on the day.
The feature will be enabled for business users in London first, with other Londoners getting access over the next two weeks.
Surge pricing increases the cost of fares when there is high demand for Uber vehicles.
Cars booked in advance will be subject to surge pricing - but passengers will have the option to cancel a booking if it is too expensive.

That is very useful if they tell you a few minutes before your car is due.

I assume you are told what the fare is when the booking is made and is confirmed,that then is a contract under UK law,how then are they allowed to surge price this booking?

Trading Standards at every Council should be investigating the claim made in the Uber statement,perhaps the Serious Fraud squad should also be investigating these glorified robbers.

So how many billions are Uber worth?

Yet their supa dupa innovations department are now following all of us that have been doing this legally for 40 years. :-$
