SOME EXAMPLES WITH THE VALUE EXTRA PLAN TO SHOW HOW YOUR FLEX TRIPS ARE CALCULATED
Any trip you take with a FLEX vehicle will be automatically billed at the lowest cost between the FLEX rate and the Round-trip rates for your plan (see Our rates).
This comparison is made regardless of the length of your trip.
However, a minimum of 4 hours will be charged if Round-trip rates are applied.
