Can you really collect within 1 hour?
Often — the fastest-available driver is dispatched immediately. 60–90 min is our typical window; sooner when a driver is already close.
Is there a rush premium?
No hidden rush uplift — the firm price on booking includes any priority premium.
How do I know how fast?
You'll see the actual dispatch ETA the moment a driver accepts — usually within a couple of minutes of booking.
