A £5 fare would be (at 20mph) 2.6 miles, £20 11.5 miles. That's a stupendous amount of "getting lost"
Is Uber any good?
I've not been encouraged by their website. For a journey that we do occasionally by taxi from our local station to home, it shows a range of fares from £4 to £16 (a black cab typically costs £5.50). But the route shown on the web-site's map is neither the shortest nor the fastest, and indeed would involve getting lost, as it goes through two roads that actually do not connect (there is a mistake on Open Street Map that I've tried to correct but after several years it's still there). If that's what they use for navigation then I'm not impressed at all. It shows the same impossible route for some other journeys in the area.
