I took them home from a concert and I checked the rate before I left and the rate was $40 when I got home the bill was $80. I asked them why and they said the rate doubles when there are a lot of people using the app in the same place. I am done with them

Surge pricing is used when demand is very high, e.g. New Years Eve, or in very cold weather; prices can be double. But the increased price displays on your phone before you get in....I think you were scammed.
