Orlando has most expensive airport Uber fee

The cost to take an Uber to the Orlando International Airport is going up and the city now has the most expensive Uber fee in the country. The company is raising the costs to $7

Uber is bringing back a "rider favorite."

UberX Share is now available in Orlando starting Thursday, a spokesperson for the rideshare company told FOX 35 News. 

UberX Share lets riders choose a "more affordable" option and allows them to save more if they find a co-rider along your route. If you're matched with a rider along the way, you can save up to 20% off the total fare, Uber said. 

For those who use this feature, Uber said it'll add no more than 8 minutes to your trip, on average. 

"By helping to match more people in fewer cars faster, we can help cut gas use, vehicle-miles and emissions per passenger, and make transportation more affordable," the company said.
