Example of Fares
When our customers book their safe rides early, we can more accurately determine how many cars we should have on the road, we can better coordinate rides to connect to each other AND that means we can offer our customers a substantial saving for booking ahead.

We have the MOST FLEXIBLE SERVICE. Learn how to use our “Flexible Pickup Time” policy to adjust your pickup time to how your evening is progressing.
- You can cancel your safe ride anytime with a one hour notice. If you think you may need a safe ride tonight, we would rather you make a reservation and cancel rather than phone at the last minute when we may not have a driver available at the time you want.
