Figures are live listed base fares, not booked prices: the advertised daily base fare of every active, bookable car in a city on BaeCars, taken as a snapshot on 20 October 2026. They exclude delivery, add-ons and taxes. Only cities with at least 10 listed cars are included. We report medians, not averages, so one unusually priced car does not move a city's figure; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile.
A like-for-like series starts from October 2026.
