How much does a ride cost?

Updated this week

Affordable travel between cities

Traveling between cities can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Hitch provides an excellent way to get between cities that fits your budget.

Pricing is based on one-way travel. Hitch operates on a route-based payment system, which ensures that pricing remains straightforward and consistent for travelers regardless of the number of passengers.

You may also use Hitch credits toward your booking. General credits are sometimes provided for inconveniences or as part of promotions and incentives. Referral credits are earned by sharing your referral link. Any available credits will automatically apply to your next booking and will be reflected in your account balance.

Our shared, single-seat and private ride pricing varies based on the route, departure time, and other factors. Key factors influencing pricing include departure time, which can affect minimum payouts and peak demand surcharges, as well as route distance and typical travel time. Market demand dynamics, like rider and driver availability, further tailor pricing to current conditions.

For shared rides, we start with an approximate pickup location at booking so we can optimize routing, reduce total travel time, and ensure a more efficient trip for everyone in the vehicle. If a specific door pickup is not selected at the time of booking, the system will automatically assign a nearby pickup location based on the address entered β€” typically within about a 10-minute radius. Trip details will note that the exact pickup location is confirmed 10 hours prior to departure, and riders are expected to head to that designated spot once it’s assigned. If you prefer a specific pickup address, you can select a direct pickup option during booking to avoid reassignment.

With a private ride, you can ride with additional passengers in your party (up to 4 riders) for no extra charge. Riders who book private, can modify their passenger count up to 3 minutes before the trip's scheduled start time, allowing for flexibility in travel plans without incurring additional costs.

Riders can choose a Door-to-Door option for an additional cost, which provides more flexible pickup and drop-off locations, including airport trips. This service is available within 50 miles of a designated station.

Hitch XL offers a door-to-door travel option with more space for comfort and room. When choosing Hitch XL, you are guaranteed a full-size SUV or Van with space for up to 5 riders.

Airport Pickup & Drop-offs

We will pick you up or drop you off at any major airports in the cities we service with Hitch Door to Door. Airport rides are set up as private cars only.

Standard Hitch Rider Policies and Terms of Service apply. Hitch credits and promotions are not stackable - only one promotion can be used per ride. Hitch credits and promotions hold no monetary value, cannot be used for tips, and cannot be transferred to another account. To make any changes to your scheduled ride, you must cancel your ride - this may mean you lose the promotion applied to your booking. All rides must start and stop at the time and location of the app booking. All purchases are final sales. If you cancel your scheduled ride, you will receive a refund to your Hitch Credit Bank in the amount you paid. Lastly, a ride reservation doesn't include any tips you may want to give your driver.
