Drife introduces a unique auction-based pricing model, allowing users to select their fares from a pool of drivers. With a minimum fare set in compliance with Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) regulations, riders have the flexibility to opt for standard fares, discounted rates, or premium options offered by drivers. This approach ensures transparency and empowers riders to make informed decisions based on their preferences, including price, distance, driver proximity, vehicle type, and driver rating.
