A booking fee and any applicable surcharges, fees, and tolls are also calculated and included in the price estimate you see. When you request a ride, you agree to be charged the fare when the trip ends. Your fare may increase if you travel to a different destination or make extra stops along the route.

Keep a look-out in the app for surge areas - you are more likely to get more rides in that area. Ensure you are online during peak hours, especially during the weekends, to make the most of increased demand. Keep a look out for ongoing events in the city for expected higher demand in the surrounding areas. During the weekends, people are traveling in and out of the city hence the demand is likely to be higher around train stations and airports. During the weekdays, make sure to be online during morning and evening peak times 8am - 9am & 5pm - 8pm. Be at your best service. Remember, good service from you results in higher ratings and a loyal customer, increasing business for you.

Once your ride has finished, the app will give you the option to tip and rate your driver.

The fare is calculated based on a number of factors as outlined above, using an algorithm based on previous rides passengers have taken on similar routes.

If a passenger is threatening you or you feel in danger, you should either contact emergency services immediately and if safe to do so, pull over and let them out. The safety, privacy and comfort of all our driver partners are extremely important to us. In case of an emergency, you can choose to raise an emergency alert from your Wystle app. You will see the SOS button on the left corner of your app as soon as you start the trip. Press the SOS button and you will be able to alert your emergency contacts, and share your location with your friends and family. When pressing the SOS button, you can also choose to alert your emergency contacts or call police in case of immediate danger.

Wystle offers fair and clear prices for our riders, an approximate journey cost is always displayed on our app ahead of you confirming your journey, so you’ve always got a good steer on the total price before travelling.
The cost of your ride can vary depending on a number of factors including location, distance and detours – however, we aim to calculate all fares on a case by case basis and ensure consistency.

Your passenger ratings can be improved a number of ways, including friendly service, speedy arrival times and adherence to safety protocol. Ratings are subject to the customer – but if you put on a smile and are friendly, your ratings should rise.

You can request multiple rides at a time and even request cars for friends through your app.

Wystle is operating in London, Greater London including all London airports. Keep an eye on our website for the latest updates.

We cannot guarantee that all our rides will be the same price – sometimes, unexpected occurrences that are out of our control such as accidents, traffic or other problems require a longer route and the driver has to travel further. While your driver will do their best to ensure this does not negatively affect the passenger, sometimes it is unavoidable and is the case with all ride-hailing.

Of course, some of our drivers are only active a few hours during weekends.

At the point when you request a ride, Wystle may put a transitory hold of funds for you to validate that your payment method is legitimate. This is called an pre-authorisation hold. The pre-authorisation hold may show as a "pending" charge on your account. Generally, the hold is from £1 to the original charged sum. When the ride is finished, the pre-authorisation hold is changed over to a charge. The pre-authorisation hold will be invalid by Wystle if the ride is cancelled. At the point when a charge is invalid, it might require 3 to 5 working days to see the Pending Charge on your bank statement to disappear. The time it takes is dependant on your bank's procedure, so if you might want to enquire about a particular transaction on your statement, please contact your bank.

Before a trip starts, your app provides an estimated time of arrival, letting you know where your driver currently is and how soon they should be with you. After your trip starts, your app provides an ETA for when you should arrive at your destination. Please note that ETA times are estimates and not guaranteed. A variety of external factors like heavy traffic or road construction can impact travel time.

To avoid customers making a mess, we recommend that you set the rules for your car, which should include a no-food or-drink policy. As it is at your own discretion whether or not to allow passengers to have food or drink in your vehicle Wystle will not cover the cleaning costs associated with food or drink being spilled in your vehicle. Please let us know if a rider made a mess in your car that needs extensive cleaning and prohibits you from taking more trips. We recommend that you do not complete further trips in a dirty car until it has been cleaned. Please submit the following information within 48 hrs of your trip: 1. At least two clear photos of the mess caused (photos that are not clear, will not be accepted) 2. A brief description of what happened and any additional comments. 3. A photo of an official receipt with the date of cleaning and the car wash's information (name and address).
