About Neighborly Rideshare

Neighborly Rideshare is a local, people-first rideshare platform built to serve our community — not extract from it.

We are a software platform, not a transportation provider. We connect riders with well-vetted independent drivers who choose when and how they work, while benefiting from predictable systems, transparent pay options, and real human support.

If you’re tired of unpredictable earnings, faceless platforms, and being treated like a number — this is something different.

What Makes This Different

✔ Optional Guaranteed Availability Pay
✔ Keep 100% of tips
✔ Local rides only — no long-distance chaos
✔ Human support, not bots only
✔ Community-driven culture
✔ Driver-led initiative: Drivers United

This is rideshare by people, for people.

Earnings Overview (Transparent & Flexible)

  • Guaranteed Availability Option:

  • Earn $60 minimum for a 6-hour availability shift when demand meets expected levels

  • Protection in low-demand periods (you’re not punished when rides aren’t there)

  • Standard Earnings (Outside Guaranteed Shifts):

  • 60% of fare revenue

  • 100% of tips

  • Bonuses Available:

  • Rider referrals

  • Driver referrals

  • Micro-bonuses during higher demand

(Guaranteed availability is optional — you choose when to participate.)

Your Independence Matters

As an independent contractor, you:

  • Choose when and how often you drive

  • Decide which shifts (if any) you accept

  • Control your driving strategy and availability

  • Provide your own vehicle and insurance

  • Operate as your own independent business

Neighborly Rideshare does not:

  • Assign mandatory schedules

  • Require exclusivity

  • Control routes or methods

  • Penalize you for declining opportunities

Introducing: Drivers United (Voluntary)

Drivers United is a voluntary, driver-led community within Neighborly Rideshare focused on:

  • Stability & predictability

  • Driver recognition & respect

  • Shared resources (insurance, vehicle care, fuel, local services)

  • Feedback, voice, and transparency

  • Building something local — together

Participation is optional. Independence is always preserved.

Who This Is Great For

  • Drivers looking for predictable systems

  • People who value local service & community

  • Drivers tired of surge-chasing and algorithm stress

  • Those who want flexibility without chaos

Requirements

  • Valid driver’s license

  • Personal vehicle in good working condition

  • Active personal rideshare insurance

  • Ability to pass background and driving record checks

  • Smartphone (iOS or Android)

Why Drivers Stay

Because this platform was built with drivers in mind — not just margins.

Because we believe:

Stability matters more than hype. People matter more than algorithms. Communities matter more than scale. Apply Today

If this aligns with how you want to work —
If you believe transportation is a service rooted in humanity —
We’d love to meet you.
