Driver Background Check

To ensure a high standard of service, all drivers on the Rydr platform undergo comprehensive background checks. This process includes:

• Identity Verification: Each driver’s identity is verified during the onboarding process to prevent fraud and enhance trust.
• Criminal Background Check: We screen for any criminal history that may compromise the safety of passengers.
• Driving Record Review: A safe driving history is crucial for Rydr drivers. We check records to confirm that all drivers meet our safety standards.

Vehicle Inspections and Standards

Safety extends to the vehicles on our platform. Each vehicle must pass a rigorous inspection to confirm it meets Rydr’s safety and quality requirements:

• Regular Inspections: Vehicles must be inspected regularly to ensure they remain in optimal condition.
• Safety Features: All vehicles must have functioning seat belts, airbags, and other essential safety features to protect drivers and passengers.
• Cleanliness and Maintenance: Rydr requires drivers to keep vehicles clean and well-maintained to promote a comfortable and hygienic experience for all riders.
