Will I be charged for each stop during my trip?
If you have reserved the “Hourly as directed” service, there are no charges for stops. However, for flat rate reservations (e.g., Sedan to the Airport), there is a minimum charge of $10.00 per stop within the route. For all other stops outside the destination route, your reservation will immediately convert to “Hourly as directed.”

Whether a taxi or Uber is cheaper depends on distance, time of day, and current demand. In most cases, Uber tends to offer lower base fares for short local trips, while taxis can become more economical for longer rides during non-peak hours—especially since Uber prices fluctuate with surge demand.
However, with Uber’s dynamic pricing, fares can easily spike during busy periods, making taxis or flat-rate private car services a more predictable option. Taxis also charge per mile and minute, so traffic congestion can quickly drive up the cost.
