Drivers must disclose their rates verbally or provide a written receipt showing the price per minute, driver name, and company information. Typical NYC pedicab street prices range between $3 and $7 per minute per pedicab.
Be aware of scams. If a pedicab driver does not clearly disclose the price before the ride, you may dispute the charge. In such situations you can call a police officer or report the issue.
