CleverShuttle: That's how much a trip costs
The car sharing service CleverShuttle offers cheap trips in several major cities in Germany. Find out exactly how you can pay for a trip and what costs you will have to pay here.
Costs for CleverShuttle: prices simply explained
When you book a ride with the CleverShuttle chauffeur service, the price may vary. The cost you face depends on several factors.
- CleverShuttle's prices depend on the local tariffs of other transport services and may therefore vary from city to city.
- In addition, the costs are calculated from the length of the route and the number of seats that you book. The more seats you reserve for your trip, the less you pay per person.
- The price is fixed at the start of the journey and is not dependent on external circumstances such as traffic jams or other traffic disruptions. Possible detours through other passengers with whom you may share the CleverShuttle are also not included in this cost statement.
- In some cities, CleverShuttle also uses a "fair pricing system" so that prices can be up to 25 percent lower outside peak hours. If the demand is high, you pay up to 25 percent more. Such price changes are displayed in the app.
Pay costs with CleverShuttle
CleverShuttle offers several variants of how you can settle your journey with the service.
- You can use the car sharing service app and pay the price by credit card, Paypal or previously deposited credit. As a registered customer, you can store your data in the app and thus automate the payment process.
- Alternatively, the CleverShuttle driver also accepts cash.
- You can have the payment confirmed on request and then receive the receipt either from the driver or via the app. For the latter option, simply click on "Your trips" in the menu and select the price of the corresponding trip. The invoice will then be sent to your registered email address.
What happens if a trip has not been paid for
In the event that you cannot pay for the CleverShuttle or the driver cannot give you the appropriate change, the trip is entered as "unpaid" and completed. Your CleverShuttle customer account will then be temporarily blocked for further journeys. You can only have this block removed via customer service after you have paid the open invoice.
CleverShuttle is not the only transport service in Germany - taxis are still the classic. We'll show you how to pre-order a taxi in the next article.
