If a rider cancels after you've already started heading to the pickup, you receive a cancellation fee. You're never left empty-handed for showing up.
Most drivers are approved within 2–5 business days after completing their background check through Checkr. Document review is typically instant.

Most personal auto policies exclude rideshare activity. We recommend checking with your insurer and looking into a rideshare endorsement or commercial policy. Consult a licensed insurance agent for guidance.
