A few things to know

Your questions,
before you join.

Have an account already?
Sign in to your workspace →

Does applying reserve a ride or a driving job?

No. An application requests a Rider or Driver account. It is reviewed before an invitation is shared. Ride requests are a separate step with current availability shown before submission. A driver account is not a promise of paid work or approval to provide live transportation.

How does pricing work?

See our pricing information above. Riders review their individual quote before accepting; an account application has no fare attached. Driver fees are still being finalized.

Are driver earnings guaranteed?

No. Transparent fees help drivers understand what they keep, but earnings also depend on fares, trip volume, time and expenses.

What happens after I apply?

The owner reviews your name, email and requested Rider or Driver role. An authorized owner can email the decision after review. Approval includes a private account-setup invitation. Applying does not itself trigger an email to you.

Can I change the role I applied for?

A repeat application does not replace your original name, email or role. If you chose the wrong role, contact the operator through your existing private channel before enrollment.

Do I need text messages to use Kzoo Rides?

No. SMS is optional and separate from account access and trips. Check your text preferences for current enrollment and sending availability.

How can I get help?

Use the private channel through which the operator invited you. Visit Support for account and ride-request guidance.
