To bad its not true.

I believe he was charged that, just don't think he went all the way to Mississippi from Atlanta and ONLY charged $900. It would have been a lot more than that. On the first, they were charging up to 9x as much as normal because of the demand.
And on top of that, Uber send you a receipt when it drops you off.
In this case, it looks like he was picked up from 181 Peachtree Street at 2:21. And the guy already was home by 2:38 with the amount of his bill (when he received the e-mail)? He would have been barely out of Atlanta in 16 minutes. OM fan lying to try to get press?! Shocking!

Update: After speaking to a representative at Uber, we’ve got some clarity on the situation. According to the company, the user in question did receive a $908 bill for his ride, but he never actually left the greater Atlanta region. The high fare was a result of both surge pricing (due to intense demand) and the inputting of an incorrect address. Uber claims it has worked with the user to reduce the overall price paid.

The driver made some statements yesterday I believe that the driver drove to Alabama, three guys who were in the car (all had passed out trying to get to a party) woke up, asked why the were in Alabama, and then the driver turned around and drove back. Still absurd a driver would actually do that, the passenger being drunk or not, but the original story strays from what actually happened
