Build   your   rideshare    driver   platform

​
​Drivers receive more money through the Ride Local Driver App.
​Drivers that are active in a particular city receive 100% of the rider fare​ and 100% of the tips.

*Stated earnings of $23.29 per hour are based on median earnings of drivers in Yuma in 2023. Actual earnings vary, depending on factors like number of trips completed, time of day, and location. Earnings include trip fares, certain promotions (which are subject to change and may vary), and tips (which are provided at the discretion of the rider). Median earnings in your specific location may be lower than the city figure. Since median is the middle, you may make more or less than the median amount. For the avoidance of doubt, drivers are paid based on their completed trips, but not hourly.

RIDE-SHARE
Ride Local Partner Drivers’ personal automobile insurance policy may not provide uninsured or under-insured motorist coverage when you use a vehicle in connection with the Ride Local digital platform. Ride Local highly suggests  drivers have additional coverage known as Rideshare insurance. These policies will cover a rideshare driver whether he or she is “on the APP” or just driving for personal reasons giving you extra protection against loss in case of an accident.  If the vehicle you plan to use to transport passengers for Ride Local has a lien against it, you must notify the lienholder that you will be using the vehicle for transportation services that may violate the terms of your contract with the lienholder.

All Ride Local Partner Drivers are required to notify Ride Local of any event that may disqualify you from acting as a TNC partner including a change in your registration, license, or insurance.

Ride Local does not discriminate on the basis of a passenger’s disability with regards to access or cost.
​
Ride Local has a zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policy for drivers.

Getting ready for your rides
1. A phone mount for navigating hands-free. 2. A Bluetooth headset for taking calls (where permitted by law).3. A phone charger so you never run out of battery while driving.4. A Ride Local Ride Logo decal (also called a sticker or trade dress), required in Yuma, AZ, displayed on passenger front or rear 
Local regulations require drivers to display trade dress. This is just a formal name for the decal/sticker with the Ride Local Ride logo that should be displayed on the front or rear windshield of your car. You can request one by contacting the office by email [email protected]
