Is it possible to book a hotel room for a few hours rather than a full night?
Absolutely Yes!!Booking hotels for few hours is a relatively new concept but is gaining a lot of popularity nowadays. This business model not only saves your money that you are paying for the full day but also increase the revenues and occupancy rates for the hotels.There are few ways by which you can book hotel rooms for few hours, some of which are-Hotels - You can directly contact the hotels to ask whether they give hotel rooms for few hours and charge for the same. Which I will not prefer doing that because generally hotels won’t allow a hourly booking directly through them and you will waste a lot of time contacting every hotels.Travel Agents - The most dependable way of booking hourly hotels. There are some companies which are only dedicated towards hourly hotel bookings and you get every information about the cost and reviews about hotels in a click. Some of the companies working in this segment are MiStay, OYO Rooms, GoIbibo etc.Local Residents - A very unsafe way is to ask local residents to arrange a room for you because they are not considered safe and you might fall into a big problem also.I would suggest you to book hotels through MiStay because they not only ensures a smooth and luxurious stay in the hotel but also provides ease of booking and a quick and helpful customer care which helps you through out your stay. And they also charge you only for the time you stay in the hotel.
Uber (company): How can you estimate an Uber fare in advance?
There are two easy ways.1) Just use the app. When you hit "Set Pickup Location" you get to the "Request" screen. From there, there's a button called Fare Estimate.Press it and you can enter a destination and get a fare estimate. You can do this anytime. You don't have to then request a ride. The estimate is valid unless there is a different surge multiplier at the time of the request.2) Go to Uber Fare Calculator. It's not an Uber site but seems to use the Uber API to calculate the same exact estimates the app does.Again, it works anytime. But it reflects the surge multiplier at the time of the search, not whatever is in effect at the time of the request so keep that in mind.(Although I work there, the above is not an official statement of Uber.)
