Marilyn A. Milan says
I cancelled my UBER account because I was unceremoniously cancelled by UBER on a Thursday May 23, 2019 pickup at 4:30 AM from my home at 5797 Menorca Drive, San Diego, CA 92124 to San Diego International Airport in order to catch a 6:20 AM flight to Chicago. I DID NOT CANCEL THIS TRIP, UBER DID!!! Then had the audacity to charge me a $13.18 cancellation fee! I finally had to drive my car to the airport, valet park, and was the last person to board the plane although I had A seating.
To add insult to injury, my valet bill for a week parking was $320. I will never use UBER again and have told all my friends to do the same!
