There are many home care options, and knowing the differences between the different types of services and service providers can aid you in making the right decision.
The post the fare schedule for each city on their website. e.g. here is Lyft Boston $2.25 + $1.50 per mile and $.30 per minute. It's hard to say what a typical ride is. In my experience Lyft is always cheaper than a Boston cab. UberX is sometimes cheaper as long as surge pricing is not turned on.
Lyftâs policy is more flexible, all things considered. If a rider cancels a Lyft request more than five minutes from when itâs made, youâre âchargedâ $5. This is substantially different from Uberâs policy, which provides no leeway and charges a cancellation fee once a request is made. Depending on the city, Uber can charge more than $5 for the cancelled request. One of the key benefits of using Lyft in the past was the lack of surge pricing, which is this horrible thing Uber does to jack up the price a bajillion-fold when demand is rampant.
