Surge Protector App

By Chris Morris

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - On today's APP-tastic and outta SITE - Surge Protector.

If you ride Uber with any regularity, you may have run into surge pricing - those times when the service's rates spike to an insane amount, often with little warning.

SurgeProtector gives you a little air support, offering nearby areas that have lower surge pricing (or no surge), which can save you a good bit of money for just a short walk. It can be especially helpful on a weekend night.

Check out the Surge Protector app.
