If the offered price is too low, drivers may simply decline the ride. You can add a bit extra to the fare or offer a tip to speed things up — but at that price it's often easier to just use Grab.

Some travelers noticed that fares are lower during certain days and times — if you're not in a rush, it's worth checking prices a few times during the day.

Most drivers/services charge roughly the same, with differences usually within about $1. The most expensive option is sticking with the same driver who originally brought you (private transfer).
