Careem will inform users before applying peak pricing to bookings and will only confirm them once you accept the revised rate. For example, a PKR200 trip under a peak rate of 1.2X converts into a PKR 240 fare (200×1.2:). This policy applies to both, NOW and LATER bookings starting October 7 – for all car types.

“While peak time pricing introduces increased fares during times of high demand in a particular area, it also improves availability for patrons who need a ride right there and then. Once the demand reduces, the trip fare reduces to its standard rate and patrons who can wait continue to benefit from our economical fares,”
