Fargo winters are the best argument for flat-rate pricing. Blizzard conditions, airport delays, and stranded rideshare drivers push Uber surge to 4x+ at precisely the moments you need a car most. Detailed Drivers charges the same rate in January as in July.

FAR Pickup Instructions
Hector International Airport has a single terminal. Your chauffeur meets you at the baggage claim exit, ground level, holding a name placard. FAR is a compact airport — the walk from gate to driver is typically under 5 minutes. In winter, your chauffeur pulls to the covered Arrivals lane to minimize exposure to the cold. Flight tracking monitors all weather delays automatically.
