Have you ever wondered what it would be like — and how much money it would cost — to travel more than 300 miles across four states via Uber? Well, a young man from New Jersey can tell you. Kenneth Bachman, from Sewell, N.J., was visiting friends late last week near West Virginia University and had been drinking at a fraternity party. Not where he was staying with friends in West Virginia, but home home. His driver was up to the task — for the right price: a whopping $1,635.93. When they did get back to New Jersey, Bachman went to a CVS in Sewell and got cash back to give him money for tolls on the way back. After a night of partying with buddies in Morgantown, W.V. I probably spent, like, $200 at the bar after already drinking all day,” Bachman told CBS Philly of his experience on Friday. “Basically, I kind of just blacked out. The last thing I remember was being at the bar and then I just woke up in the Uber next to an older dude telling me I was an hour out from Jersey.” 
 
 Once he made it home the price tag of the blurry trip became clear: $1,635.93. Like, why did you agree to, like, take me to New Jersey from West Virginia?’ ” Bachman told the station about the sobering moment when he realized what he had done. When asked about Bachman’s Uber adventure, a spokeswoman for the ride-hailing company confirmed to The Washington Post that the high-priced trip did occur, and that the driver took the passenger to the destination he requested. Uber also connected with Bachman and resolved the matter, which ended with him agreeing to pay the fare. Things were more expensive because Bachman unintentionally ordered an UberXL, which can hold up to six passengers and is exponentially more expensive than the typical UberX.
– We all know you shouldn't drink and drive. Kenneth Bachman is living proof you probably shouldn't drink and Uber either. He was hit with a $1,635.93 Uber fare after accidentally taking the ride service from near the West Virginia University campus, where he was partying with friends last Friday night, to his home in New Jersey, CBS Philadelphia reports. “We went to a frat party and then went to the bar. I was getting drinks all night; I probably spent like $200 at the bar after already drinking all day,” Bachman says. “Basically, I kinda just blacked out." Needless to say, Bachman doesn't really remember calling himself an Uber. He says he woke up to the driver telling him they were about an hour away from New Jersey. “I was just like, that’s crazy. Why did you agree to take me to New Jersey from West Virginia?” Bachman says. Five hours and 300 miles after ordering the Uber, Bachman was home, the Washington Post reports. The ride would have been a good deal cheaper if Bachman hadn't drunkenly treated himself to a more expensive UberXL. According to NJ.com, surge pricing also doubled the cost. Bachman challenged the fare, arguing he would have told the driver to take him to his friends' place near the university campus—not all the way to New Jersey. "I know I wouldn't send it to my house," Bachman says. "I knew where I was." Uber states Bachman did indeed give the driver his home address, and Bachman agreed to pay the fare after the company contacted him. He gave the driver five stars and cash for paying tolls on the way back to West Virginia.
