  • The rider can request certain preferences in the app before booking:
    • Temperature Control: You can ask the driver to set the car to your preferred temperature.
    • Quiet Ride: This feature lets the driver know you prefer minimal conversation, allowing for a peaceful trip.
    • Extra Luggage: You can indicate you have extra bags, so the driver knows to expect them.

4. Pricing
