mears adding fuel surcharge

[Goldelpack]

I'm flying out from LGA, New York on Friday. My Uber is 20% $$ more than usual. I'm leaving 4 hours before my flight - mostly because I plan to get lunch at the DeltaSkyClub. Today I decided to book Mears from MCO to my resort and there's a notation saying:
Please Be Advised: A 3% Fuel Surcharge Will Be Added to All Reservations Until Further Notice - Thank You
I'm not surprised. There are no limits to how much extra things are.
I do wonder if I'd booked in advance (which I normally do) if this surcharge would be be added

I booked a round trip with Mears Connect yesterday. They added the fuel charge to our booking. The cost increased from $67.20 to $69.12, an additional $1.92, for two adults.

I've never seen a discount for advanced booking.

We booked way in advance for our Mears reservation in May.When I went in to modify our reservations Sunday, the message appears about the surcharge being added. I have never seen a discount for booking early. Occasionally a sale pops up, but it has been a while since I've seen one.
For us, it's still a good deal.

Not at all surprising. I'm local and live very close to WDW. Gas in my area just went up to $4.299 yesterday. That's for the gas stations on and off WDW property. Before the hostilities it was $2.799

OP, are you referring to Mears Connect? Or a Mears taxi booking?

OP didn't say they expected a discount for booking earlier, just wondered if they would have booked before the surcharge went in if they would have been charged it.

Sort of like buying a park ticket before a price increase.

Mears connect.
And just to clarify something:

I'm not referring to any discounts at all. What my question (to myself) is - had I booked this prior would this surcharge be added? Normally I make all reservations months in advance as part of my overall trip. To be clear, I'm not saying this is an exorbitant fee.

Ah. As I thought. And I wondered the same thing, although I often don't book my Mears Connect ride to the resort until I'm actually at the airport.
