Driver Questions
What types of drivers are there on Hike?
There are two. Carpool drivers share trips they are already making and use the Rider app. Ride-share drivers use the Driver app for on-demand trips and meet full commercial e-hailing compliance requirements.
How do I become a driver on Hike?
Download the app, create an account, choose your driver type and upload your documents. Once approved you can publish a carpool route or go online for ride requests.
Do I need a special licence to carpool?
Carpool drivers share a trip they are already making, so requirements are lighter. Ride-share (e-hailing) drivers need the operating licence and permits required for commercial passenger transport.
