Peters says that at first, he only had to pay a $200 bill, but that Uber added another $400 to his final cost.
"That’s a lot of money," Peters told Fox. "I was a little scared. I was like oh my gosh, that’s crazy."
Peters was eventually refunded his entire bill.
"We have refunded Mr. Peters after this terrible ordeal and are so glad that he and his Uber driver got home safely," a statement from Uber to the Associated Press said.
