REFERRAL PROGRAM
WHAT IS THE GIVE $10 AND GET $10 PROGRAM?
The “Give $10 Get $10” referral program is our way of rewarding existing users for referring friends and family. Each user will have their own unique referral code that they can easily share through the app. Once you share your code with a friend they will receive $10 off their first ride, and when their ride is complete, you’ll automatically receive a $10 ride credit for your next ride. There’s no limit to how many ride credits you can receive, so share away!
POLICY ON GUESTS
WILL YOU DRIVE MY GUESTS HOME TOO?
Yes. We will drop your guests off, but please remember to factor that into your tip at the end. We recommend an additional $10 for each added stop.
HOW MANY OF MY GUESTS WILL YOU TAKE HOME?
As long as every guest can travel in your car safely with a seat belt (including our driver) we are happy to provide him or her a safe way home.
DRIVERS
DO YOU RUN BACKGROUND CHECKS ON YOUR DRIVERS?
