Buffalo's Uber Black market is thin — a small number of drivers serving a large demand spike during Bills playoff games (Highmark Stadium, 73,000 capacity) and Sabres playoffs at KeyBank Center. Surge pricing of 3.0-4.0x is common during these events. Detailed Drivers offers guaranteed availability at one all-in price with advance booking.
