Frequently Asked Questions

How does the service work?

All vehicles are branded with the service's logo and colors, similar to the graphic shown above, so they should be easy to spot.

These are locations we believe will be popular origins and destinations for rides. Select them to easily choose where you need to go to or from.

Please let us know you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle when you book your ride by tapping your profile picture or image at the top of the app menu and tapping the Wheelchair Accessibility toggle to turn it on.

Sure! You can book rides for you and any additional passengers. All additional passengers will be charged according to the pricing section on this page and you will pay for all rides using the same payment method.

Service animals are always welcome to ride without restriction. Driver Partners have a legal obligation to provide service to riders with service animals. If you are a rider traveling with a service animal and wish to report any issue you experience related to your service animal, please send an email to our support team at the email listed above explaining the situation.

Pets that are not service animals are also allowed, but pets should be kept in an airline-approved carrier to use the service.

Prebooking through dispatch is available exclusively to senior passengers. To schedule a ride, please call 760-337-1760.

The easiest way to use the service is by downloading the app with the links above. However, if you do not have a smartphone, or need additional assistance, you can call our support team at the number listed above and we'll help you over the phone.

Account Information

Open the app and select 'Get Started.' In the password box, select 'Forgot your password?' and follow the prompts.

Navigate to the menu in the top left corner of the app and tap 'Favorites', then tap 'Set Home Address', 'Set Work Address', or create and name a new favorite. Once you have saved favorite addresses, they will appear as quick options on the home screen, making booking rides even easier!

Navigate to the menu in the top left corner of the app and tap your name or profile picture at the top. Then tap 'Delete my account' at the bottom of the page.

Ride Information

Once you start a ride, the destination cannot be changed. If you have not yet boarded the vehicle, you can cancel the ride and re-book with a new pickup or destination address.

Sometimes, if we are experiencing high demand in your area, there may not be any vehicles or drivers currently available to service your ride. If your travel plans are flexible, you can try requesting the ride again after a few minutes. Please note, calling will not increase your ability to book a ride as our agents have the same ability as you do booking in the app.

Once a ride is confirmed, you will see the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of your driver in the app. You can follow your driver’s progress in real-time so you know where they are. The app will give you directions to your “virtual bus stop” which may be a short walk away. Just follow the dotted line to get to your exact pickup spot!

Please re-book your ride through the app. After completing your booking, contact dispatch at 760-337-1760 to explain your situation. You will not be charged for any rides you did not take.

You can cancel your ride directly from the app or by calling our support team at the number listed above. Remember, canceling at the last minute can negatively impact other riders, so please cancel as soon you know that you don’t need a ride.

If you cancel a ride after a driver has been assigned, you may be charged a cancellation fee unless your ETA is 5 or more minutes longer than initially stated. If you need to dispute a cancellation fee, please send an email to our support team at the email listed above or in the app explaining the situation.

To report a missing item, please contact dispatch at 760-337-1760 and provide a detailed description. We will do our best to track down the missing item and if found, will let you know where you can come pick it up.

Feel free to fill out the ride feedback screen in the app after your ride.

Please contact our support team at the email or phone number listed above to report a complaint. Be sure to include as much information as possible and we’ll do our best to help.

Payment information

When creating an account, you’ll be prompted to add your credit or debit card information in the app. Other payment methods may be available and they are listed in the 'Easy ways to pay' section above. If you are paying by card, you will be charged after the ride has completed.

You can also pay with cash when you get in the vehicle.

Navigate to the menu in the top left corner of the app and tap ‘Payment Methods’. You can then tap the payment method you would like to edit or tap ‘Add a new payment method.’

No. Our drivers do not accept tips.

There are a few instances where you might see a pre-authorization charge on your account. Any time a new credit card is added to the app, a $1 hold is placed on the card to ensure it is valid and has at least $1.

Additionally, when a ride is booked, a hold will be placed on the payment method for the entire amount of the initial ride if it is expected to be more than $15 to ensure the charge goes through at the end of the ride. However, a hold is not a charge. This charge will remain pending and should disappear from your account or statement within 3-5 business days depending on the policies of the rider's bank/financial institution.
