Metered Pricing Rule
Metered pricing allows you to calculate trip fares based on a taxi meter instead of predefined or dynamic route calculations. This method is typically used when pricing is determined during the ride itself.
The system does not calculate price in advance
The fare is determined based on the taxi meter during the ride
Customers may see an estimated or no price at booking stage
Final price is confirmed after trip completion

Price Adjustments
The Price Adjustments section allows you to modify the final calculated fare by adding surcharges and applying rounding rules. These adjustments are applied after the base fare has been calculated using your pricing rule.
Per Passenger Surcharge
Enable Per passenger to automatically add an extra charge for each additional passenger beyond the first passenger.
Example:
Base fare: €20.00
Per extra passenger surcharge: €10.00
Booking for 3 passengers
Calculation:
Base fare for first passenger: €20.00
2 additional passengers × €10.00 = €20.00
Final fare: €40.00
This option is useful when larger groups create additional operational costs or require larger vehicles. The surcharge is automatically added to the final fare during the booking process.
Per Stopover Surcharge
Enable Per stopover to automatically add a fixed surcharge for each additional stop included in the journey.
Example:
Base fare: €20.00
Per stopover surcharge: €5.00
Booking includes 2 stopovers
Calculation:
Base fare: €20.00
2 stopovers × €5.00 = €10.00
Final fare: €30.00
This option is useful when passengers request additional stops during a journey, as each stop may increase travel time and operational costs. The stopover surcharge is automatically added to the final fare during the booking process.
Price Rounding
Enable Price Rounding to automatically round the final calculated fare before it is presented to the customer.
Available rounding options include:
Round to nearest 1
€12.40 → €12
€12.60 → €13
Round to nearest 5
€12 → €10
€13 → €15
Round to nearest 10
€14 → €10
€16 → €20
Price rounding is commonly used to display cleaner and easier-to-read fares while maintaining consistent pricing across bookings.
Note: All price adjustments are applied on top of the calculated fare generated by the pricing rule and affect the final amount shown to the customer during the booking process.
