I haven't used Uber yet to be honest. I know it's a big thing here and in the US but I still haven't had a need yet.
When I went to Santorini we used a regular taxi service to the airport which was cheaper than using Uber, even with a discount.
Airport surge charges are a complete pain I agree which is why we took the train home which was cheaper than getting a taxi.
