Starting Monday! On-Demand Trips with Flat Fares for New Orleans Drivers

March 18, 2022

Hi there,

We're excited to announce that we're launching Flat Fares for taxi rides in New Orleans, starting Monday, March 21, 2022. These dynamically-priced fares are based on live and historical trip data, including metered fares, traffic, and wait times to ensure fair and competitive pricing for both riders and drivers.

What does this mean?

When a rider requests an on-demand ride, they will see Curb’s Flat Fare before they request a taxi. Flat fare pricing will empower riders to compare the cost of taxis to other transportation options, something that was not before possible with metered fares.

As a Curb Driver, there are two ways to start receiving Flat Fares: With the Dash+ and with the Curb Driver App. 

Dash+ for Flat Fares

Accepting on-demand trips with Flat Fares is easy on the Dash+, visit our Dash+ Manual for instructions on how to accept Flat Fare rides.

Buckle Up and Drive Safely

The safety of our drivers and passengers is paramount. We work with the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, New Orleans Health Department and taxi fleets in providing guidance to help everyone ride safely. Please remember that face coverings are required for both passengers and drivers alike.
