Plan your next trip with the price estimator.
How prices are estimated
In most cities, your cost is calculated up front, before you confirm your ride. In others, you will see an estimated price range (see applicable price terms in your city). Here are some fees and factors that can affect your price:
Base rate
The base rate is determined by the time and distance of a trip.
Operating fee
In your city, a flat fee might be added to each trip. It helps support operational, regulatory, and safety costs.
Busy times and areas
When there are more riders than available drivers, prices may temporarily increase until the marketplace is rebalanced.
