nope. As a driver, you never know when your passenger is gonna be like, "I'm gonna change my mind, let's go all the way to santa barbara instead". Both you and UBER/lyft want that ride. Surprised-not-surprised that uber doesn't send the client app a message asking for approval.

I once suggested my driver to drop me off before the destination as it was more convenient and he said no, that he really had to go to the exact agreed upon destination. I presumed it was for insurance purposes, like if something happens in the interval I was supposed to be in the car.

Definitely lying to you. Thinking about it, what happened to you is kidnapping. If you ask to be let out of the car,the driver MUST honor your wishes and drop you off as soon as it's safe to do so.

Maybe they added this recently:
