2. Length of Trip

  • Flex Service: You’re charged from the moment the vehicle is unlocked until you hit the "End Trip" button.

  • Loop Service: You’re charged for the entire booking period, even if you end the trip early. Extensions are charged additionally.

Pricing Example: If you’re using a Suzuki Swift, you’ll be charged $0.90/minute until the hourly rate of $18 becomes cheaper (20 minutes). Similarly, the daily rate applies after 5 hours of usage.

For instance, using a Tesla for 3 hours and 17 minutes would cost $111.30:

  • 3 hours × $32 = $96

  • 17 minutes × $0.90 = $15.30
