Liftago

Just returned from our trip to Prague and had an awesome time!

I do have a question about Liftago, though. We used it once and while we had no real issues, I am wondering about the quoted vs actual rates

We had used Uber a couple of times and it was great - got us to our destination quickly and for the quoted rate. Decided to try Liftago because a driver had quoted us a rate ~20 czk's less than UberPOP - I know, its only around $1 USD but wanted to try it to compare. Driver picked us up but we got stuck in heavy traffic to our destination - he was following the route that the app had recommended so it didn't seem like he was trying to pad the rate. At our destination, the actual rate turned out to be ~60 czk's more than quoted and ~40czks more than Uber. Just wondered if this is normal or should we have only been charged the quoted rate?

Both Uber and Liftago worked as expected - decent rides and drivers that didn't do anything stupid

You got stuck in heavy traffic. The journey took longer than expected. Therefore the fare was higher than expected.

Thanks - that's was I thought. I guess I assumed that since Uber is a set rate, that Liftago would be similar but wasn't sure. Just wanted to make sure...….

The big difference between Uber and Liftago is that Liftago uses guys in Prague that have taxi licences so you are sticking pretty close to the regular 40/28/6 tariff. The "6" is where the extra cost went because that is waiting time at CZK6 per minute that the Uber guy might not charge for.
