5 Ways to Get a Better Fare on RYDO

Since you set your own price on RYDO, a little strategy goes a long way.

  1. Don't lowball your first offer too hard. An unrealistically low fare often just gets ignored — start close to a fair price for the distance.
  2. Check nearby driver activity. If it's a quiet time of day, you'll likely get offers closer to your asking price.
  3. Be flexible by a few minutes. If no one bites right away, waiting 60 seconds and nudging your offer up slightly usually gets a response.
  4. Compare offers, not just price. A slightly higher offer from a highly-rated, closer driver is often the better pick.
  5. Use scheduled bookings for predictable trips. Booking a regular commute in advance tends to get more competitive offers than last-minute requests.

The negotiation only takes a minute, and it's the part of RYDO that puts you back in control of what you pay.
