DUBLIN AIRPORT: NO BOOKING FEE
Hello Stephen,
You might have noticed the difference at Dublin Airport – we certainly have. Thanks to recent improvements and our collective efforts, we've seen a 15% jump in airport journeys – trips that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Thanks for making this a reality for Freenow and you.
To keep this momentum going and bring even more trips your way, we're currently offering discounts to all passengers booking from the airport. To ensure Freenow remains the top choice and to create more earning opportunities for you, please do not add the €3 booking fee. Keeping pricing competitive helps attract more passengers.
We’re also working closely with Dublin Airport Authority to improve traffic flow in the pickup zones, making your experience as smooth as possible.
Thank you again for your continued support and for helping us keep Dublin moving.

Dats Grand .How long before we pay the passenger .So no PUC and 3 quid entry to the Bull Pit .Add in 15% comission .You wont be making money until you pass the Church In Whitehall .

The way they phrase the email it sounds like they know we should be charging it but would prefer if we didn't.Thankfully I accept zero jobs off Freenow out there.If they want discounts they can drop the commissions.
Dropped out there an hour ago and Zone 18 is rammed with taxis and customers so things havent really improved much.
The official rank is very busy on T2.

Fukkin madness,then they pay by card on your card machine then take away your every day expenses..... :-X :-X
I never even get the offer of a job off them at the airportI so won't affect me but I can see regulars flipping the lid

I don't cover DAP jobs for Free Now myself but, to be fair, demand has increased by 15% and the commission and ancillary costs are VAT FREE!

So... by charging less, I'll make more money?

Lyft currently have a market cap of 6.29 billion.Remember that next time your giving put discounts lads.

I don't think you'll necessarily make more money but you could well do more work which ought to appeal to the kind of halfwits that pay to pay for discounted work from Free Now at Dublin airport.
