Tourist and content creator Tom Tom has shared his experience with a Nigerian Uber driver who allegedly demanded an additional ₦6,000 to take him to the airport after he had already paid ₦4,000 through the Uber app using his card.
According to Tom Tom, the driver requested the additional payment despite the fare already being paid electronically through the ride-hailing platform.
The incident reportedly left the tourist questioning the reason for the extra charge and the circumstances surrounding the driver's request.
Tom Tom's account has sparked reactions online, with some Nigerians condemning the alleged demand while others called for more details about the ride and whether the additional amount represented an officially applicable charge.
The experience has also renewed conversations about transparency in ride-hailing services and the need for passengers to understand how fares, airport charges and additional fees are handled.
Passengers using ride-hailing platforms are generally advised to verify any additional charges through the official app or customer-support channels before making extra payments.
