- Flat-rate pricing
- Affordable fares
- Pickup from anywhere you like

[Benefit 1] Flat-Rate Pricing
The first benefit is flat-rate pricing.
With NearMe, you’ll never be charged extra fees.
Once you book and complete online payment, the price is locked in.
With a taxi, the fare can change depending on road conditions.
But with NearMe, no matter how much traffic you hit or how long the ride takes, it’s a flat ¥5,980 per person.

That can mean not only a longer ride but also a higher fare.
With NearMe, you can enjoy a comfortable trip without that kind of stress.
[Benefit 2] Affordable Fares
The second benefit is affordable pricing.
A taxi from Nerima Station to Narita Airport costs about ¥26,000.
But with NearMe, you can get there from ¥5,980 per person.
That means if you’re traveling in a group of 5 or fewer, it’s a better deal than a taxi.

[Benefit 3] Pickup from Anywhere You Like
The third benefit is that you can be picked up from anywhere you like.
Anywhere within Tokyo’s 23 wards, you can be picked up.
