Driver FAQ

Questions before posting your first trip.

Estimated earnings depend on confirmed seats, route fare, cancellations, and operational rules.

Drivers post spare seats on city-to-city trips and passengers request rides. The matcher connects compatible routes, timing, seats, pickup and drop-off points, request order, and nearest suitable driver route. Once matched, passengers get a 4-digit pickup PIN.
