How are GoCatch fares calculated?
When a passenger completes a trip with you, they are charged a fare which is calculated based on the distance traveled from pickup to destination, the time the trip took as well as other fees and charges.
Before you accept an incoming job request, a fare estimate for the trip will be provided. This is only an estimate, as varying factors can alter this estimate, such as traffic, tolls and diversions.

| Per Minute | $0.34 + | $0.55 + |
| Per KM | $1.23 + | $2.47 + |

Driver Execution Rate
GoCatch measures the rate at which drivers complete jobs that they accept. This is called your Execution Rate and is simply your completed jobs divided by your accepted jobs.
Your Execution Rate is an important indicator of your level of customer service and professionalism. You should always make your best effort to pickup a passenger by calling them, texting them and waiting at the pickup for at least 5 minutes.
The best GoCatch drivers have an Execution Rate of 100% and every driver should aim for at least 90%. Drivers earn and retain their status by a high execution rate and accumulating GoPoints from every trip they complete. Completing more jobs means earning more GoPoints. More GoPoints means better jobs, and more money.

The payment is considered the same as a payment by the passenger of the fees payable to you. For more information, refer to GoCatch Legal.
We make available via the Driver Portal a history of all transactions. Drivers can filter these jobs to specific period. For any period we will advise the total sales (GST inclusive) and total creditable acquisitions (GST inclusive).
