The group of six friends took an Uber home early on Saturday, Feb. 7, Hunter told BuzzFeed News. The friends were irritated by the surge pricing, but were willing to cough up the $68 it would cost to get home safely.
After arriving home, the friends were shocked to see they had been charged an additional $100 for a cleaning fee.
