Driver Contract

Driver Agreement

Terms for driving on the RideZoid platform.

The RideZoid Promise to Drivers

You keep 97% of every fare. We charge a flat $30-40/month subscription only. No commissions, no hidden fees, no surge suppression.

1. Independent Contractor Status

You are an independent contractor, NOT an employee of RideZoid. You control your schedule, choose which rides to accept or bid on, set your own prices, and use any other platforms simultaneously.

2. Subscription & Earnings

  • Monthly subscription: $30-40 (fixed, no per-ride fees)
  • You keep 100% of ride fares minus payment processing (~3%)
  • Example: $100 airport ride = ~$97 in your pocket
  • Payouts processed immediately after ride completion
  • No minimum earnings threshold for payouts

3. Driver Requirements

  • Valid driver's license (1+ year of driving experience)
  • 4-door vehicle, 2015 or newer, in good condition
  • Valid personal vehicle insurance (you upload proof)
  • Clean driving record and criminal background check
  • Smartphone (iPhone 8+ or Android 6.0+ with data plan)
  • Primarily operate in Chicago metropolitan area

4. Airport Operations

RideZoid focuses exclusively on O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) airport routes. Drivers with existing Uber/Lyft airport entry permissions can seamlessly operate on our platform. No additional airport credentials needed beyond what you already have.

5. Ride Acceptance & Bidding

After admin review, ride requests appear in your Driver Portal. You submit competitive bids on rides you want. If a rider selects your bid, the ride is confirmed. You set your own pricing based on distance, time, and demand.

6. Insurance

In the initial phase, RideZoid does not provide passenger insurance. You must maintain your own valid personal vehicle insurance. Proof of insurance must be uploaded and verified before you can accept rides. RideZoid may introduce platform insurance in future phases.

7. Deactivation

Accounts may be deactivated for: low rider ratings (below 4.0), excessive cancellations, safety violations, incomplete documentation, or violation of platform terms. Subscription fees are non-refundable for the current billing period upon deactivation.

8. Non-Exclusivity

You may use RideZoid alongside Uber, Lyft, and any other platforms. There is no exclusivity requirement. We encourage you to maximize your earnings across all available channels.
