I drive in the greater Boston area and after a big weekend I notice I wasn't paid ANY long distance fees. I went through all my rides and found 6 where I should have gotten long ditance fees. WTH!! I have been in contact with Uber and was told that this is a known issue and they are working on it. Still no resolve. Check your earnings and contact Uber so we can all get the pay we deserve.

The Guru Take
Did you check the availability of long distance premiums?
Did you know that Long Distance Fees (contrary to some posted info0 are only available in certain US cities and they aren't for all Uber services?
Keep in mind that:
- They are only assessed for trips that are deemed as UberX or UberPool.
- They do not apply on trips that have surges and boosts.
- They do not apply on Driver Destination trips.

The long distance fees are assessed on the customers, and they are based on the time and distance it takes for the driver to get to them. Previously, the trip the drivers took to pick up the passenger had no cost to the passenger.
