⚠️ Important Note on Cash Payments:
While some drivers may accept foreign currency in emergencies, we strongly recommend paying in Saudi Riyals (SAR). Exchanging foreign currency incurs fees and taxes for our drivers, often resulting in a less favorable exchange rate for you. For the best price and convenience, please book online or ensure you have SAR cash ready.
