Another on-demand car service has fired a shot in the war with Uber and Lyft for customers — GetTaxi, also known as Gett, is offering a $10 flat fee for any and all riders in Manhattan through the end of the year.
Gett’s offering the fare “Any time of day, any route, any Manhattan neighborhood,” with no limit on how many rides you can take, the company announced on its blog.
What’s the catch? There isn’t one, per se, but there are a few things riders will have to keep in mind. For one thing, tips aren’t included, so good customers should be prepared to still tip their drivers the appropriate amount for the ride.
And a major bummer for those in the outer boroughs is that all the rides must take place completely in Manhattan, so no zipping home to Brooklyn or the Bronx on the cheap.
Extra stops are also not included and any ride over 60 minutes will cost more as well, so you can’t just drive around town all day picking up your pals. I know, sad.
One might imagine that if everyone starts cashing in on the deal, wait times could be extended, rendering the offer useless if you need to get somewhere quick. Or perhaps Gett will hire more drivers to cover any uptick in business. We shall see.
