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.
