Why Did My Hail Cost More Than Expected?

Modified on Fri, 16 Jan at 6:41 AM

Why Hail Costs Can Change

The price shown before requesting a hail is an estimate.
The final cost is calculated based on the actual completed hail.

Several factors can cause the final fare to be higher than the original estimate.


Common Reasons for Higher Final Cost

Longer Route or Travel Time

If the hail:

  • Takes longer due to traffic

  • Uses an alternate route

  • Experiences delays

The final cost may increase.


Stops or Detours

Additional stops or route changes can increase:

  • Distance

  • Time

This may affect the final fare.


High Demand Periods

During busy times:

  • Driver availability may be limited

  • Pricing may adjust based on demand

This helps ensure drivers remain available.


Inaccurate Destination Entry

If the original destination:

  • Was incorrect

  • Was changed mid-hail

The fare may differ from the estimate.


Important Things to Know

  • Fare estimates are not guaranteed prices

  • Final pricing is calculated automatically

  • Drivers do not control pricing

  • Wallet charges reflect the completed hail

  1. Open VI Hail app
