tarifa dinâmica

tarifa dinâmica — dynamic pricing, a surcharge at times of high demand
The multiplier by which a ride-hailing app raises the fare when more people want a ride than there are cars: Friday evening, rain, the end of a concert, a metro strike.
Where you come across it. The passenger sees it before booking, and it must be itemised on the invoice together with the pricing formula.
Until 1 September 2026, the surcharge was capped: no more than double the average fare of the same operator's rides over the previous 72 hours. The new law removed the cap and instead obliged platforms to explain in advance how the fare is calculated.
