Introducing upfront prices
From tomorrow, we’re rolling out upfront prices in Melbourne. This means instead of seeing a price range for your trip, you’ll see the exact price you’ll be charged up front- no surprises, no calculations required.
Need to make a few stops?
No worries! You can add up to three destinations before you request your ride.
If a trip changes significantly, so does the price
The trip price will be adjusted if estimated tolls/surcharges differ from actual, if your journey changes (for instance, you change your pick up or drop off location or make a detour), or if it takes much longer than estimated due to heavy traffic or other factors.
In these cases the price will reflect the actual time, distance and other rates applicable in Melbourne.
