- Uber's insurance and operational fees can vary widely on similar trips
A study by Len Sherman of Columbia Business School found Uber's insurance and operational fees varied between $13.75 and $50 on similar 60-mile trips, with Uber attributing the variation to factors like origin city and time of day.
