The client selects the card as method of payment when ordering the car.

After reaching the destination, the application displays the cost of the ride, and the client can even round up the sum to leave something for the driver, if he or she chooses, after which he or she should push Slide to pay. After the payment is made, the client will receive a receipt via e-mail.
