Can I meet my driver before the ride?
This question is very popular for a very good reason! YES! Once your ride request is booked contact your driver through your JumpRydz app and make arrangements. Please be mindful this is not a requirement for the driver, therefore we strongly suggest video call meet & greets.

What if my child needs a safety seat?
You have 2 choices:
Driver provided seat: when you request your ride, specify in the notes that you would like the driver to provide a safety seat [convertible front or rear facing, booster] and your child’s age.
You can provide your own child safety seat at the pickup location. However please be advised of the following:
the driver will drop off your child safety seat at your child’s drop off location
You may incur wait time charges for the driver to install and uninstall your safety seat
Will the driver walk into the facility to pick up my child?
Certainly! Please be advised of the following:
You must detail all pickup/drop off instructions when requesting the ride
You may incur wait time charges as outlined in our Fare Schedule
To avoid wait time charges we recommend arranging for your child to meet the driver at one of the facility entrances
What if I have a newborn?
JumpRydz drivers will provide a proper fitting child safety seat. An adult attendant is required on all newborn rides, and they will take care of the newborn.

DRIVER FAQs

Transporting minors requires extra effort, and skills, therefore we charge 20-30% more than other rideshare's which pays you more
We offer various bonuses
Our busy times complement working with other rideshares, for example, you can do morning school drop-offs with us, then switch to your other rideshares for mid-morning, then do afternoon school pickups or mid-day pre-school transfers. Whatever works for you
How do I become a favorite driver?
Once you’ve successfully completed a ride, the customer will rate you according to your performance and be asked if they want to add you as a favorite driver. When the customer re-books they can choose to send their ride request to the favorite drivers first.
Is this work seasonal? Or is it busy only during school time?
JumpRydz is busy year-round for school, summer camp, carpools to the airport or hospital, etc.
