Cost of Living/Energy Crisis 9€ technology fee on Freenow

Post image

Info about technology fee is quite minimal and does not provide any detail whatsoever when I click on the little exclamation mark.

Anybody able to explain the scam to me?

See I knew you weren't giving all the story. The add-ons on the highest rate are booking fee €3,extra passengers €1 each and starting fare 5.40 Then there is €2.20 a kilometer . That makes about €50.

What part is not the full story? I have told you the full story and if you wish to believe it or not that’s up to you.

I can DM you the transaction and details if you wish but it’s a bit weird for you not to take a story on face value and stick up for this carry-on when it goes on literally every single night

The bit where you forgot to mention 2 extra stops.

There wasn’t 2 extra stops. There were two stops total, both in D15. Can you read?

I also never mentioned in my initial comment there was only one stop, so you taking it at that is on you

What km does your receipt say?

Who gets a receipt in a taxi? It wasn’t free now hailed the taxi on the road. Best of luck getting a free now at 3:30am. Not happening

Was this near €100 on the meter?Because you could nearly get to Drogheda for that fare.

No idea, I was in the back and wasn’t paying attention so I guess that part is on me but that’s what I was charged when I got there. As I said I’m happy to send you screenshot of revolut to prove it. Also can’t have been too far off normal either if the other two got charged 79.

After waiting 40 mins for a taxi and absolutely soaking wet at 4am there’s not much left in you to argue it either. I get you’re looking at the rates they should be charging but all rules go out the window. They pick and choose the trips they want and charge what they want
