⚠ Uber Drop-Off Charges May Be Added Separately
Uber does not consistently include airport drop-off charges in its upfront quoted fare. The charge can appear as a separate addition at the end of the journey. Always confirm with Uber whether the drop-off fee is included before accepting a quote. GetLondonTransfer always includes it.
