Rides & flat rates

One number, quoted before you ride. It won't move.

Every ride is a flat rate agreed by text before you book. No surge, no meter, no surprise line items. The rates below are starting points — text your exact address for your number.

Does this sound like you?

— You've watched a $28 quote become $61 while you stood at the curb.
— You've had a driver cancel at 4:52 a.m. with a flight at 6:30.
— You budget for the ride, then get billed for the surge, the wait, the "priority" fee.

None of that exists on this page. One flat number, agreed before you ride.

"From" prices are starting points, not quotes — your exact flat number comes in one text, and it never changes. Rides I don't take: pickups past the 710/Queen Mary line or outside the service area without advance booking.

One text turns this into one locked number →

Typical ranges, not quotes — every trip is priced once, by text, for your exact address and time. The apps' side is modeled on published LA-area rate cards with typical surge.

A MONTH FROM NOW

Imagine never thinking about the ride again.

Your 6 a.m. flight means a 4:50 pickup — already confirmed, already priced. You walk out, the door is open, your usual temperature is set. You watch the car come to you on the map instead of watching a fare climb. You land, text one word, and it's handled again.

That's not a luxury upgrade. It's what a ride should have been all along.

Booking & live tracking · via text + Glympse

One text to book. One link to watch me arrive.

Booking is a normal text conversation — you ask, you get one flat number, you say yes. Then on pickup day, a Glympse link shows my car moving toward you with a live countdown ETA. No app, no account, and you can forward the link to whoever's waiting on you.

Hi! Thanks for messaging about riding with me.

How the flat rate works

01Text your pickup address, destination, date, and time.
02You get one number back — usually within the hour.
03That number is final. Traffic, rain, 2 a.m., holidays — it doesn't move.
04On pickup day, a Glympse link lets you watch me drive to you — live.
The Flat-Rate Promise

The price we agree on is the price you pay. No surge. Ever.

"THE QUOTE NEVER MOVED"

Is this your kind of ride?

✓ THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
— Early flights, standing reservations, or a weekly routine you want handled
— You value a locked price and a guaranteed pickup over a coupon
— You want the same trusted person every time — for you, your parents, your kids
— Comfort, discretion, and a calm car matter to you
WHAT THIS ISN'T
— A ten-minute-away app car. This is a planned ride, reserved ahead, so your driver is guaranteed — not gambled on.
— A metered mystery. Every trip is quoted flat and locked, so the number never moves on you mid-ride.
— A round-the-clock fleet. I drive a focused schedule (Mon–Sat 4–11:30 AM, Sun 4–10 AM; later by request) — which is exactly why every ride gets my full attention.
Planning ahead is the whole point. Reserve your ride and it's handled.

Fair questions, straight answers

"What if my flight is delayed?"
I track your flight. If it shifts, I will confirm right away whether the new time still aligns with my calendar, and when it does, your pickup moves with your plane. No rebooking, no fee.
"What if I need to cancel?"
Text me. Life happens; I'd rather keep a relationship than keep one fare.
"Is the quote really final?"
Yes. The number I text you is the number you pay — traffic, detours, and luggage included.
"Am I safe riding with one person instead of a platform?"
Insured via Hum Private Rides, live-tracked on Glympse from the moment I leave, and you know exactly who's driving — which is more than an app can say.
"How far ahead should I book?"
A day ahead is comfortable; a week locks your slot. Same-day works when the calendar allows — check live availability below.
