// Surge Pricing
During peak hours, rain, or events, rideshare prices can 1.5-3x. Check both Uber and Bolt — their surge pricing differs. Wait 10-15 minutes and prices often drop.
// True Car Cost
Your car costs more than just fuel. Include depreciation (~R2/km), insurance, maintenance, and tyres. The AA estimates total cost at R4-6/km for most SA cars.
// Monthly Break-Even
If you rideshare daily for 20 days at R200/trip = R4,000/month. Compare against car payment + insurance + fuel + parking + maintenance to find your break-even.
// Safety Tips
Always verify the driver's name, car model, and registration before getting in. Share your trip with a contact. Sit in the back seat. Trust your instincts.
