• 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.
