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
