Overview
At Ride Local Ride, our community-first model is built entirely around you — the driver. Because you keep 100% of your fares and tips, growing our network of riders directly increases your personal daily revenue. To accelerate this growth across Yuma, Fortuna Foothills, Somerton, Wellton, and San Luis, we are officially launching the Driver Marketing & Rider Referral Program.
This initiative rewards your proactive community outreach and empowers you to act as a true brand ambassador.
Referral Incentive Structure
When you successfully recruit a new rider to the Ride Local Ride platform, both you and the passenger win.
- Rider Sign-Up Promotion: Every new rider you bring in will receive a special first-ride discount or credit when booking through our new website or app.
- Driver Cash Payout: You will receive a direct cash bonus added to your weekly payout once your referred rider completes their first three (3) paid trips within our service area.
- Volume Milestones: Drivers who successfully refer 10 or more active riders within a calendar month will unlock an additional high-volume milestone bonus.
Marketing Tools Provided to You
To make sharing our services effortless, we are equipping each driver with a customized marketing kit sourced from VistaPrint:
- Personalized Wallet Cards: Handouts featuring our direct booking line and a blank slot for you to write your unique driver referral code.
- SeniorCare Promotional Flyers: Tailored specifically for medical offices, senior centers, and physical therapy clinics.
- Vehicle Marketing Materials: Magnets and physical decals emphasizing our core "We Drive People Happy" identity to spark conversations while you are parked at local hubs.
How to Track Your Referrals
- Distribute Your Code: Ensure every passenger or facility director you speak with receives your unique referral code.
- App & Booking Log: When a rider registers via our secure portal, they must input your code in the promo section or mention it to dispatch during phone bookings.
- Automatic Payout: The system tracks the completed trips and pushes the referral cash bonus straight to your standard weekly payout settlement.
Thank you for your continued dedication to keeping our community safely moving. Let's work together to drive our local ride count higher!
