Before payment, riders see the driver fare, the separate aRide service fee, and the total.

The fare is the fare. The fee is clear.
aRide is a U.S. rideshare platform in pilot development, designed to show riders what they pay and drivers what they earn before a trip begins.

How aRide works
One trip. Two numbers. No hidden percentage taken from the driver fare.
Fund the trip
The rider pays before a driver accepts. Payments are processed securely through Stripe.
Complete and transfer
After completion, aRide transfers the advertised driver fare to the eligible driver.
Rider service fee
4% + $0.35, with a $1 minimum.
The service fee is disclosed separately from the driver fare before the rider confirms payment.

Plain-language policies
Built for a responsible pilot.
These summaries explain the current aRide pilot. Final terms are presented in the product before enrollment or payment.
Full refunds when approved
Eligible cancellations and service issues are reviewed by aRide. When a rider refund is approved, the full rider total is returned to the original payment method. Partial refunds are not offered during the pilot.
Purpose-limited data
aRide uses account, ride, and payment-event data to operate the service, prevent fraud, and provide support. Stripe processes payment methods and identity verification; aRide does not store full card numbers or Social Security numbers.
Pilot limitations
aRide is in limited U.S. pilot development. Availability is not guaranteed. Drivers must maintain an eligible membership and payout status. Riders must review the disclosed fare and fee before paying.
Help throughout the pilot
Pilot participants receive a direct support channel during onboarding. Billing questions, payment errors, safety issues, and refund requests are handled through that channel and documented in the participant’s account.
