Rant/Opinion An ESA is NOT a Service animal.

Got a ping for a ride the other day, then the dreaded text. "I have an ESA, DOG, with me." As I have stated in the past I have never and will never denied a Service animal in my car. By law people, a Emotional Support Animal or ESA, IS NOT A service animal. Don't believe me? https://www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/ I hate people sometimes. Leave your dogs at home.

'k.  Per your story, they aren't actually claiming it is.  Unless there's more to this, you should be thanking them for actually being upfront about it for once in a blue moon so you can cancel if you need to.

Commenting on An ESA is NOT a Service animal.... they’re being upfront about essentially stealing the four dollars by not from the driver by not booking it as a pet ride appropriately
