Easy Fare

Overview

Easy Fare introduces the wanted level system and Pay 'n' Spray shops in Grand Theft Auto IV. After an unpleasant exchange with Vlad at the depot, Roman asks Niko to pick up a regular customer, Jermaine Andrews, and drive him to his garage. The police are waiting, and the simple fare becomes a chase.

The opening shows Vlad treating Niko like a servant, ordering him to fetch coffee, and suggesting that the cousins work off Roman's debt through favours. That tension grows into the confrontation in Uncle Vlad. Jermaine himself works at a car shop and is under police surveillance for carjackings, which explains why officers are waiting at the garage.

Walkthrough

1. Take Roman's taxi and drive to Jermaine's apartment.
2. Pick Jermaine up and drive to the garage.
3. When the police appear and Niko gets a wanted level, leave the circular search area on the radar and avoid being seen until the stars disappear.
4. Drive to the Pay 'n' Spray shown on the map to finish the job.

Tips

• Grand Theft Auto IV's wanted system shows a search circle; get outside it and stay out of police sight lines.
• Flashing stars mean police have lost sight of you; hide in alleys until they vanish.
• A Pay 'n' Spray instantly clears a wanted level if no officer sees you drive in.
