Free now Ride is very competitive with other companies like Uber or conventional taxi companies because of the low cost of a ride. In this article we explain how much Free now Ride is planned for trips and how the driver service works.
Cost of a ride with Free now Ride
Free now Ride comes from the former service provider Mytaxi. This provider has developed a new driver service system, which should be much cheaper than conventional taxi rides.
- Like a taxi, the costs are calculated according to the distance you want to travel with the driver.
- However, Free now Ride states that a trip with the service costs about a third less than with a taxi company.
- In addition, you only have to pay for what the app charges you when you book. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, for example, you do not have to pay any extra costs for the longer journey.
- Free now Ride also offers a match function. With this you can share the driving service with other people who want to drive in the same direction. The journey may take a little longer, but it is much cheaper.
- Free now Ride is therefore aimed particularly at young, flexible customers who are more sensitive to prices and costs for taxi rides.
- The cost of a Free Now Ride ride may vary slightly depending on the city. Events such as large trade fairs can also be reflected in the price.
How Free now Ride works
Similar to Uber, Free now Ride works very easily via an app. With this you can carry out every step from ordering to payment.
- Free now Ride is a transport service provider that offers you a rental car including a driver.
- You can use the Free now Ride app to order a driver to your location (via GPS) or specify a pick-up address.
- You also save a payment method when registering in the app. For example, Free now Ride accepts credit cards, direct debit or PayPal. So before the trip you pay the specified costs online, without cash.
- If you have selected the match function, the driver collects other people on the way who have also specified Free now Ride Match and want to go in the same direction. Otherwise, the driver will take you straight to your destination.
