How Does Ride-Hailing Apps’ ‘Surge Pricing’ Mechanism Work?

Many travelers wonder: “Why did the app show 250k when checking at home, but as soon as I landed at Da Nang airport and opened the app, it showed 520k?”.

The answer lies in the dynamic/surge pricing algorithm based on demand:

1. Flight clustering effect: At Da Nang airport, during golden hours (10:30 AM – 12:30 PM and 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM), there are usually 4 to 6 flights landing simultaneously, releasing over 1,000 passengers into the lobby within 30 minutes.
2. Supply does not meet demand: The number of ride-hailing drivers parked near the airport only meets about 20–30% of the demand. The application’s algorithm automatically triggers price multipliers ranging from 1.5x to 2.5x to coordinate drivers from other districts to rush over.
3. Travelers bear the loss: You are forced to accept exorbitant prices, or wait 20 to 35 minutes for fares to cool down under the scorching heat of the arrival lobby.
