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.
At high-demand times and locations, the cost of a Lyft or Uber ride can significantly increase. For Lyft,  Prime Time  can increase the cost of a ride by 25 to 200%.For Uber,  Surge Pricing  can increase the cost of a ride by as much as 7 to 8 times the cost. Lyft Drivers: $500 bonus after you sign-up for Uber and give 25 rides within 30 days of activation! â¢ You must sign-up through a referral link to receive a bonus. If you use mine, it helps me out a little, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart :).
