  Thanks.
The other day I inputed it. After having 3 drivers cancel I couldn't figure how to remove the destination..
Close the app and start again.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Anyone have a ballpark amount that it will cost from midtown to LGA? (think no traffic) Trying to decide whether to use Lyft with $25 or Uber with $30)

Sure, if he says something put a comment and he will be in serious trouble.

Personally I find it only right to ask them in advance if it's more than 30 minutes or so.

I spent over $400 last week on a single ride

Thanks. Can't imagine mincha should take that long. That's one long ride, where did you go??

The Uber driver will probably be more than happy to do this...i would even just say you will be pretty quick would he like to wait around to bring you back (dont mention the running meter) He may very well agree to wait without running the meter (unless its a really short ride and you have the $30 trip and specifically want the meter running instead of starting a new trip)

Depending on city and how long mincha takes might be cheaper to keep running than paying another base or min fare
