Earn on your own schedule

Putting you in control

15 November 2017 / South Africa

The choice and flexibility you’ve asked for is here. You now have added control over when, where and how you drive.
What’s new?
 

Long trip notifications

The dispatch screen will let you know when a long trip has been requested. No more surprises.

How it works:

If a trip is estimated to be 45 or 60 minutes or longer, you will see “Long Trip” on the request screen.
Accept the trip or tap ‘No Thanks’ to move on to the next trip.

Arrival times for destinations

Set a preferred arrival time for each destination and we’ll help you reach it on time. This means no more missing appointments or being late for school pick-ups, and gives you even more control over your schedule!

How it works:

Once you set a destination, tap ‘Add Arrival Time’.
Select the time you want to arrive at your destination.
When it’s time to start driving toward your destination, we’ll let you know and the top bar of the Driver app will turn orange.

No Thanks button

You should be free to choose which trips you want to take. The ‘No Thanks’ button lets you decline a trip right away, so that the rider’s request gets passed on to another driver even sooner.

How it works:

When you receive a trip request, you will see a “no thanks” button in the top left corner of the screen.
Tapping this button will decline the request from the rider, but will not affect your acceptance rate for incentives or driver rating.
