The tip here is not to forget that taxis are an option. Taxis have published rates, whereas Uber and Lyft raise prices during peak times. Therefore, a taxi can be less expensive or more expensive and it's on the consumer to evaluate the costs and compare.

I was at a work trip in the UK and for some reason the Uber driver told me that they know when the flights come in and they all turn off their app to make the rates go higher.

I was very annoyed at that. Even though my trip was 100% covered by my company, what about the times I'm just traveling on my own?

I didn't tip the guy. Fuck that shit.
