When you're so broke that an extra couple of dollars will put you in overdraft territory, it's not reasonable.

At least they inform you in most hotels. I have not used Lyft - I would hope they do the same.

Not to sound rude but someone who's that short on cash might be better off going by public transit, walking, or using a bicycle.

I use public transport for my daily commute. I use Uber for shopping 2 or 3 times per month, and only on the way back. I think it's tough to save more than that.

Any tips would be appreciated of course.

If you find yourself starting a comment with “not to sound rude”, you might consider whether skipping the comment altogether is the best way to not be rude.

It's a hold, not a charge.
