A British ride share customer was stunned after waking up with a hangover and a $39,000 Uber charge on his debit card.
Oliver Kaplan, 22, recently ordered a car on the ride share app after finishing up a shift at the Buxton Inn in Manchester, England. The chef planned to meet friends at Witchwood — a pub located just four miles away.
“I ordered an Uber like I do most nights on the way home from work and everything seemed normal,” Kaplan told South West News Service about his horrifying bill.
He claims the price quoted on the app was between $11 and $12, which he happily accepted.
“The driver arrived, I got in the Uber and he took me exactly where I was meant to be going,” the young chef stated. “It was a 15-minute journey — tops.”
Kaplan thought no more of the experience until he received a message from Uber the following morning.
“When I woke up hungover the next morning, the last thing I expected was a charge of over £35,000! (USD$39,0000),” he exclaimed.“I ordered an Uber like I do most nights on the way home from work and everything seemed normal,” Kaplan told Southwest News Service about his horrifying bill.Oliver Kaplan / SWNS
