How do I book?

Text your pickup and destination to your company's number, use the app, or book on the company's page. You get the price before anything is booked; reply YES to confirm.

How is the price set?

Each company sets its own fares: a base, a per-mile and a per-minute rate, and a minimum. You see the total before you confirm, and a booked ride keeps that price. No surge unless the company turns it on, capped and shown up front.

How do I pay?

Cash to the driver, or Zelle where your company accepts it. Zelle shows as pending until the company sees it in its bank. Some companies also take cards.

Where is my receipt?

In the trip link you get by text, in the app under Trips, and by email if your account has one.

I left something in the car

Open your trip link and choose Report a problem, or reply AGENT to the company's number. Dispatch contacts the driver.

How do offers work?

One offer at a time with the pickup time and distance, the trip length, the fare and how the rider pays. The countdown starts when the offer reaches your phone. Passing never costs you anything.

How am I paid?

Your company sets your share and the app shows it on every offer and in Earnings. Cash you collect is settled with the company as its policy says.

My phone broke or the app will not open

Ask dispatch for emergency web access. They confirm it is you and give you a one-time code for a limited browser version.

Documents and account

Licence, insurance and vehicle documents are handled by your company in its console. Expiry dates show in your app's Account tab.

What do I need to start?

Your permits and commercial insurance, a business texting number registered with carriers, your fares and service area, and at least one approved driver and vehicle. The console's go-live checklist tracks each one.

How should I price?

Start from a researched preset in Setup, then Fares. Each shows what riders pay, what drivers earn per mile after fuel, and a rough comparison with app rideshare. Publish, then fine-tune.

Reconciling cash and Zelle

Payments shows cash each driver holds, Zelle claims waiting for a bank check, and every correction with a reason.

Texting your company

Write normally, in English or Spanish. These short replies also work.
