Frequently asked questions.
As-directed service is billed at an hourly rate using a garage-to-garage calculation: time is added to the trip for the vehicle's travel to the pick-up location and back to where it started. Garage locations are fixed points within a service area and are applied the same way across all as-directed billing.
No. No destination is required to book as-directed service. You give the pick-up details and choose your destinations as your day goes. Certain minimum time restrictions may apply.
