Dynamic pricing calculates fares using Google Maps distance and travel time data. This is typically the simplest method to configure and offers extensive customization options.
Video Tutorial: Dynamic Pricing
Basic Settings
Name - Assign a descriptive identifier for the rule
Type - Select "Dynamic" for distance and time-based calculations
Priority - Set the rule's precedence (lower numbers = higher priority)
Start Date/Time - Define when the rule becomes active
End Date/Time - Define when the rule expires
Specific Weekdays - Restrict the rule to certain days and times
Geographic Configuration
Define where the rule applies using locations and areas from Settings > Areas and Locations:

Specific location/area to everywhere
Everywhere to specific location/area
You can also limit rules to specific web bookers or apply them to dispatch panel bookings.
Advanced Features
Shuttle Service Mode
Enable per-passenger pricing to function like a ticketing system. The calculated fare applies to each passenger individually rather than per trip.
Time Range Restrictions
Limit rules to specific timeframes for special occasions like New Year's Eve or seasonal pricing.
Base Station Calculation
Calculate fares based on your base address rather than only pickup-to-dropoff distance. This provides more accurate pricing for bookings outside your main service area.
Calculation Methods:
Base address to pickup address only
Base address to pickup to dropoff and back to base address
Enable this option and specify your base address in the configuration screen for more accurate pricing on distant bookings.
