Fares and fees

Clear prices. Fair fees.

You see the price before you confirm, and you pay your driver directly.

How a price is built

  1. 1

    Estimate

    Base fare plus a per-km rate times the route distance, never below the vehicle's minimum fare. The price shown is all-in: it already includes Shuttle's booking fee.

  2. 2

    Your choice

    Book at the live fare, or name a price up to 50% either side of the suggested fare.

  3. 3

    Adjustments

    Free waiting, then per-minute waiting charges. Route and stop changes are re-quoted.

  4. 4

    Cash payment

    Cash to the driver at the end of the trip. The final fare can differ from the estimate.

Waiting

Your driver waits free, then a small per-minute charge applies.

Cancelling

Free while you search or negotiate, and for 30 seconds after a driver accepts. After that a fee can apply if the driver was already on the way.

Why did my fare change?

Route changes, waiting and added stops change the fare, and you see a new quote before you confirm a change.

For drivers

Shuttle charges drivers a commission on each completed fare, shown in the app before you accept a trip.
