Black Hourly / Premier Hourly overview

Pricing
- Riders can request a trip for a set number of hours and miles, beginning at 2 hours.
- Riders will be charged a default per-hour rate based upon the estimated duration and distance of their trip rounded up to the nearest hour.
- Trips exceeding the requested number of hours will be charged an additional per-minute rate.
- Trips shorter than the requested number of hours will still be charged the minimum fare based on the hours selected when requesting the trip.
- If a trip exceeds the distance selected, riders will be charged an overage based on a per-mile rate specified in the app.
