Neat Uber/Lyft Metasearch App

Found a rather neat app called Bellhop. It's a metasearch app that lets you search and price both Uber and Lyft (along with a few other options) in a single interface. I've found it to work very well thus far (been using it for a month or so). Includes any discounts or promos that you get from both Uber and Lyft. No connection to the company, just a user.

Does it give you a realtime quote including any discounts/promos that you specifically qualify for? It doesn't for me, but maybe that's just me.

It does for me. Real-time quote and even coupon codes. It does seem a bit off with Cabify though

On Google Maps, all I get is a wide range of prices (from Grand Central to LGA at the moment, giving $23-41 for UberPool), while Bellhop cites the exact price ($35.59, including the discount I'm currently getting from Uber, $43.63 regular price).

I was in the Dominican Republic last night and it showed the correct prices when I'd click open in app. But I am in NYC right now and from my home to JFK it does show as you say 23-30 dollars not a fixed amount like it did in the DR.

could be location-specific. and only LYFT is showing what discounts and codes are available. weird.

Notice that none of the Maps apps or such show the one-way rental car specials between NYC airports and Manhattan, if applicable. Didn't the apps endeavor to show all the available options? Mass transit, ride hailing, etc.

That's an incredibly niche application, however, and it's also not a door to door option.
