When fares change
Surge pricing
When far more people are requesting rides than there are drivers nearby, fares rise temporarily. The multiplier is always shown and confirmed in the app before you book — never applied afterwards.
Night rate
Late-night trips carry a higher rate to keep enough drivers on the road after dark. The night rate is built into the fare you see before you confirm.
Waiting time fee
Your driver waits a few free minutes at pickup. After that, waiting is billed at the same per-minute rate as your trip, so nobody loses out.
Airport & park flat rates
Trips to and from major airports and motor parks can be booked at a fixed flat fare instead of metered pricing, so long-distance runs stay predictable.
