Let’s skip the small talk. Today’s rideshare pricing feels like that pop quiz you never studied for – base fare + mystery fees + surprise surges. And somehow the total still doesn’t add up!
If you’ve ever stared at your fare breakdown and thought, “Wait… what exactly am I paying for?” you’re not alone.
At PikUP, we believe simple math creates a better rideshare experience. Our promise is straightforward and backed by real numbers, not clever marketing.
Riders keep up to 40 percent of their ride costs compared to national competitors.
And no, we didn’t get there by tweaking an app feature.
We rebuilt the entire economic model.
The current system: the hidden 40 percent
Think of every rideshare fare as a pie. In today’s dominant platform model:
- A small slice goes to drivers (and it’s only slightly bigger when the app goes into surge pricing mode).
- Most of the pie goes to the platform (so they can pay overhead expenses, give their execs big bonuses, and award huge dividends to stockholders.)
This system doesn’t make your ride safer, cleaner, or faster.
And it surely doesn’t support the driver who picked you up.
Fairness is out the window.
You’re not paying so much for service – you’re paying for a broken formula.
The PikUP math: zero waste, maximum value
We fixed the ridesharing equation by building a model where every dollar serves riders, drivers, or safety. Nothing else.
Here’s the side-by-side comparison:
| Factor | Competitor Model | The PikUP Model |
| Pricing | Dynamic pricing system that spikes unpredictably | Guaranteed flat fares with no surge – ever |
| Driver Pay | Variable, often low commissions that force drivers to chase “peak hours” | 100 percent higher net earnings that create natural stability and supply |
| Your Fare | Inflated up to 300 percent during peak moments | Up to 40 percent lower; and always consistent, predictable pricing |
Because we solve the supply problem with fair driver pay – and because our platform runs on a lean, transparent fee structure – the savings flow directly back to you.
That means you pay 40% less, because you’re not paying for corporate inefficiency or greed.
Does a lower fare mean a worse ride?
Not even close.
When drivers earn fairly, they stay longer, drive safer, and take pride in the service they provide. PikUP drivers earn 100 percent more than industry averages – and it shows in every ride.
And our built-in safety features (including default trip recording and gender-based matching) aren’t add-ons or paid upgrades. They’re standard.
The math is simple:
Ethical business practices result in better service
You don’t need to be a financial analyst to appreciate keeping more money in your wallet instead of handing it over to a corporation built on hidden markups.
It’s not just savings – it’s economic freedom
Stop funding a system that works against you (and exploits drivers).
Choose a platform built with integrity at its core.
Choose fairness. Choose transparency. Choose a ride where the math finally works in your favor.
