Hitchhyke fares consist of the Trip Fare, Platform Fee, and any applicable Third-Party Fees.

Types of Fees

Trip Fare

• The total ride cost, which includes:
  • The Base Fare, a starting amount added to every trip.
  • The per-kilometer rate, which is set by the driver.
  • Additional variables such as the Minimum Trip Fare, service charges for cancellations, wait time fees, and toll fees added by the driver may apply in specific cases.
• This amount is fully paid to the driver, minus the Platform Fee and some third-party transfer fees.

Platform Fee

• A variable percentage-based fee deducted from the driver’s earnings per trip.
• Supports platform development, marketing, customer support, and operational costs.
• For example, if a trip costs $1000, the passenger pays $1000 + any third-party fees, and the driver receives $1000 minus the Platform Fee and some third-party transfer fees.

Third-Party Fees

• Fees passed on to the passenger, such as:
  • Payment processing fees (charged by card processors).
  • Currency conversion fees (if applicable).
• Fees deducted from the driver, such as
  • Bank Transfer fees (charged by payment processors)
• These fees minimally affect the driver’s earnings.
