Yea jump in a cab instead. LGA is one of the airports I almost never bother with Uber at.

If Uber or Lyft are ever taking too long, get a cab. Surge pricing is the litmus year for whether or not to just get a cab. It’s about $10/more than your typical lyft/Uber without surge pricing, so not a decent alternative solution forever, but most airports are geo-corralling crowd-sources drivers into a specific residual parking lot and they won’t be able to accept airport pickups unless they are “in the fence” so they all get a wave of calls at the same time, then have to navigate the construction all together to get to the terminal .

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.
