The Uber API is pretty nice to work with. I built a mobile-web surge avoider: http://nomoresurge.divshot.io/client/

If you load that up on your mobile phone you can search for the location nearest to you with low or no surge, and then deep link into the Uber app to actually call the car.

Now I can implement requests directly, which is very cool.

I'd definitely use this. I've noticed that I can often change location by a couple of blocks to avoid surge charging
