of the traffic at that time of the day, which
is fastest or shortest and so forth.

be your name right beneath it.

Is going back on a different date would be considered
a round trip as well?
No,
a round trip is when the driver take you somewhere,
wait for you and take you back, for example
if you going to the airport to pick up or drop
of someone and go back, or going to a mall for
shopping and go back and likewise.
