How to Reduce Extra Charges: Waiting Time, Stops & Peak Timing
Small planning changes reduce extra charges. These tips save money without reducing comfort.
Extra charges usually come from timing + stops
Most people focus only on daily rate. But the real difference can come from waiting time, extra stops, or peak timing.
3 ways to reduce extra charges
- Be ready at pickup: even 10–15 minutes repeated can add cost.
- Plan stops: multiple short stops can push waiting charges.
- Choose timing smartly: avoid peak congestion windows when possible.
Good habit
If you know your plan is flexible, adjust pickup time slightly earlier or later for smoother flow.
