What is an Hourly Ride?

The Hourly Ride feature lets the rider do things like run multiple errands, or fly into town for a meeting and then get an immediate ride back to the airport. The rider books in 60-minute increments, with multiple stops allowed within the local service area. This benefits you by paying you a flat fee for the hour, even if the rider is only going a short distance. This feature allows you to make more money as you will get the flat fee even if the majority of the hour you are parked and waiting for the rider while they shop or attend a meeting. If the trip goes over 65 minutes another hour is automatically added and you will receive another hourly trip fee. Hourly Ride requests are clearly marked so that you will know before you accept the request. The Hourly Rate varies by market and ride type. Both fixed daily rate and commission mode drivers may receive Hourly Ride requests.
