The default base fare may fluctuate based on the local market situation. Additionally, you shall always have the right to charge the Passenger less than the Fare indicated by the PrivateCab App. However, charging the Passenger less than the PrivateCab App indicates, does not decrease the PrivateCab Fee.

4.7. Upfront Fare. A Passenger may be offered to use a ride option that allows the Passenger to agree to a fixed Fare for a given instance of Transportation Service provided by you (i.e., Upfront Fare). Upfront Fare is communicated via the PrivateCab App to a Passenger before the ride is requested, and to you when the ride is accepted or at the end of the ride. The Fare calculated in accordance with section 4.6 shall be applied instead of Upfront Fare if the Passenger changes the destination during the ride, the ride takes materially longer than estimated due to traffic or other factors, or when other unexpected circumstances impact the characteristics of the ride materially (e.g., a route is used where tolls apply).

In markets with In-app payment, if you find that there has been an error in the calculation of the Fare and wish to make corrections in the calculation of the Fare, you must submit a petition in the section "Fare Review" of the PrivateCab App. If a petition in the section "Fare Review" of the PrivateCab App has not been submitted, then PrivateCab shall not recalculate the Fare or reimburse you for an error made in the calculation of the Fare. This option is not applicable in markets with only cash payment.

4.10. Passenger may have the option to pay the fare for the Transportation Services either directly to you or via the In-app Payment, in markets where this option is available, as described in section 6 of these General Terms. In case the Passenger pays the Fare directly, it is your obligation to collect the Fare. In case the Passenger fails or refuses to pay, PrivateCab will send a notice of debt to the Passenger on behalf of you. Such authorization derives from the mandate of paying agent given to PrivateCab and does not entail that PrivateCab has an obligation to compensate the Fare not paid by the Passenger. If the passengers in the vehicle do not agree to pay the Fare for the provision of Transportation Service, the Fare will be paid by the Passenger who has ordered the provision of Transportation Service. If Passenger justifiably refuses to pay the Fare on the account that your information stated in the PrivateCab App is incorrect, then PrivateCab will not reimburse you for such expenses.

4.11 Tips. In some markets Passenger may be given the option to tip you after a successful provision of Transportation Services.

4.14. If, in the course of the provision of the Transportation Services, a Passenger or its co-passengers negligently damage the vehicle or its furnishing (among else, by blemishing or staining the vehicle or causing the vehicle to stink), you shall have the right to request the Passenger to pay a penalty up to 300 GH¢ and request compensation for any damages exceeding the penalty. If the Passenger does not consent to paying the penalty and/or compensating the damage, you must notify us and we will then try to collect penalty and/or relevant costs on your behalf from the Passenger.
