A better-value way to get around Rangiora: KiwiRides quotes your fare up front and that is exactly what you pay. No meter ticking in traffic, and no surge pricing when it is busy.
Every KiwiRides fare is worked out the same way: two dollars per kilometre plus a four dollar base fare, with GST added on top and a twenty dollar minimum. There is no meter, so you are never watching the price climb at a red light, and there is no surge pricing, so a wet Friday night costs the same per kilometre as a quiet Tuesday.
You see the full figure before you confirm the booking, and that figure is what you pay. It covers the whole vehicle, not each passenger.
