Rydo doesn’t charge commission like other companies. Instead we charge a small job fee between $2 and $5 depending on how big the fare is.

We give you the capability to contact passengers through pre-selected messages and an option for the passenger to call you. If you can’t find the passenger you can select Passenger No Show and we will reimburse you for your trouble.
