Scammed by the Uber driver

Last night I went to a comedy show in town with a friend. Reserved an Uber the day before. Got some discount, and a great price to take us home. Time comes for pick up, he says he can't get to us, quickly walk up more before it's cancelled, we talk a few times, tell him we have moved location to somewhere more accessible, then he blocks me and the ride is cancelled and I'm charged over half what the fair was going to be.

Now I can't be sure of the next part, but seems likely. A knight in shining taxi appears and we take it, as it's now midnight on a monday/Tuesday night and I'm angry and desperate to go home, so that cost 3 times more than the original uber. I think they might have been working together, as he had a phone convo straight the ride started that I couldn't understand (different language). Speculation.

Hindsight, I should have booked another Uber, as it was showing nearly $100 less than what the taxi ride cost, but again I just wanted to go home. Have a complaint in with Uber for the ride cancelation - I want at least my cancelation charge back.

Rant over.

Update: Uber have refunded me the cancellation fee, stating that they can see the driver cancelled the ride before the grace period. At least thats something.
