The approximate price is the exact flight price shown to the customer before placing the order. This exact amount is what the customer pays at the end of the trip.
The approximate price takes into account the following:
- Road traffic and other accidents: If the trip takes much longer than estimated due to traffic or other factors, the price will be calculated based on the actual time and distance traveled
- Dynamic (peak) pricing: if possible, approximate pricing also takes into account dynamic pricing when demand is high
- If a customer changes his destination during the trip, the approximate price is adjusted to calculate the distance to the destination.
With a set price it is easier to make the decision to place an order or not, which often results in more trip requests and more driver profits.
Note: With approximate fares, prices can be lower if the flight is not completed or higher on a per trip basis.
