You quote $59 for the ride to LAX, but I get $70 when I make the same request on my Lift account.
Its from Aliso Viejo to Virginia America @ LAX. Why the difference? and how can we get the lower price.

The Guru Take
Fare Inconsistency
Sometimes the fares on our site are different than the actual price when you request the Uber or Lyft. The reason for this is because Uber and Lyft have upfront pricing which they include surge in effect. Our fares do not receive current surge pricing. The reasons for surge pricing can vary, but a lot of times include traffic, weather, and commuter times.
To avoid high surge pricing in the future, you can plan your travel around less popular times. When there is lower demand for cars, the surge pricing will be lower.
