Pickup and drop-off transfers: price by distance, by route or by quote
Turn on transfers for a vehicle and set a per-kilometer rate, add flat-rate routes for the trips you run often, and limit the pickups you serve with a service area. A route you have not priced becomes a quote request you answer yourself.
Last updated November 3, 2026.
Three ways a transfer gets its price
- By distance: the distance between pickup and drop-off is measured and multiplied by the vehicle's per-kilometer rate.
- By flat-rate route: a fixed fare for routes you run often, such as an airport transfer. It replaces the per-kilometer price on that route.
- By quote: with no rate, or no matching route, the customer sends a quote request and you reply with a price.
Setting it up
Enable pickup and drop-off on the vehicle and enter its rate. Seasonal rates can override the transfer pricing for holidays and busy periods, and flat-rate routes are managed in the booking form settings.
Service area
In Settings, under Pickup & Drop-off, add the locations you serve to limit which pickups qualify. With none added, you serve anywhere and every pickup is priced by distance.
Paying for a transfer
Transfers collect a non-refundable downpayment rather than a security deposit. Customers pay by GCash, bank transfer or an online gateway on plans that include one, and the proof stays on the booking.
Route matching tip
Flat-rate routes match on the place text, zone or area the customer gives, so name your routes the way customers write them, and add the common variants. A pickup that matches no route falls back to distance pricing or a quote request.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run transfers and car rentals from one account?
Yes. Transfers, self-drive rentals and rentals with a driver all run from the same booking system and dashboard.
What if a customer asks for a route I have not priced?
If there is no price for it, the customer can send a quote request instead, and you answer with your price.
