What am I paying extra for?
You increase the likelihood of a driver accepting your request by offering extra for a prioritized pickup.

You are paying for the chance of a faster ETA by increasing the likelihood of a driver accepting your request. On average, paying for Priority pickup reduces the ETA, but is not guaranteed in every instance.
