A trip’s total cost is made up of these elements:
Trip Price: This is a vehicle’s listed rate multiplied by the trip length. Each host sets their own standard daily rate.
Trip Fee: The trip fees vary depending upon the age of the driver, the car model and the trip price.
Processing fees: 4% of Trip price & fee (to cover credit & debit card costs)
Overall, total trip cost is generally 30-40% cheaper compared to traditional rental companies.
Example A:
Host decides the rental price of his car at $80 per day. A guest, aged 30 years wants to rent the car for a day. The breakup of the trip cost would be as follows:
Daily Trip price: $80
Daily Trip fees: $20
Processing fees: $4
Total trip cost: $104
The guest pays $100, the host receives $80 and Drive lah receives $20. (for 24 hours rental)
Example B:

Processing fees: 4.3
The guest pays $112.3
