Good to know

Fares depend on where the ride starts. Rates are set by the city the trip originates in, so a pickup in Mishawaka may price differently from one in South Bend.

Airport runs are flat rate, not metered. Book ahead and the price is fixed regardless of traffic.

No surge pricing, ever. Game day, New Year's Eve, a snowstorm at 5am — the rate is the rate.
