Uber until very recently charged NYC rates when you requested a ride starting at EWR. It was outrageous. I used to hop a ride from EWR to Teaneck for 25$ every time and then one day it was $67. Needless to say I stopped using Uber at that point until they emailed me that they changed back to NJ pricing, which is a great rate. Had you done this in December you would have paid far more.
