&gt; <i>SurgeProtector finds locations close to you with lower surge pricing and calls an Uber directly to that spot.</i><p>The Uber API does not support actually calling Ubers on behalf of the user (<a href="https://developer.uber.com/v1/endpoints/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.uber.com&#x2F;v1&#x2F;endpoints&#x2F;</a>), which means that this will get shut down extremely quickly.

Anybody used this in Chicago? Does it work well?<p>Could&#x27;ve used this about 2 months ago when our group got hit with insane 4.5x surge pricing.

I&#x27;ve used this twice already. It&#x27;s awesome.
