To me the variability is too much. I can't tell at 1pm whether I a 3:30pm trip to my doctor office will cost me $8 or will there be rain and will it cost me $30.

Since it's not reliable I prefer it much less. I'd rather it just cost $16 both times.

Can't you schedule in advance? Does that not come with a price at the time of scheduling?
