Become a driver
Turn the trips you already drive into shared rides — verified once, then publish on your own terms.
Driving on TrustTrip is not gig work. You publish trips you already plan to drive — your route, your schedule, your seats, your shared amounts — and passengers reserve documented seats through secure checkout. You go through verification once; after that, publishing takes minutes. Here is the whole path, honestly laid out.
What driving here means
You stay in control
You decide the route and its stops, the departure time, how many seats you share, and the shared amount per segment. TrustTrip never assigns you trips, never sets your amounts, and never expects you to drive on demand — you publish what you were going to drive anyway.
Passengers arrive confirmed, not negotiated
Every passenger books through secure online checkout before the trip: seats are paid, documented, and visible in your driver space. No cash collection, no doorstep haggling — the amounts you published are the amounts the booking carries.
Verification is what makes it work
Passengers book with confidence because every driver passed a real review — identity, licence, vehicle. That same verification protects you: the platform's trust rules apply to passengers too, including reviews in both directions and consequences for no-shows.
Onboarding — done once
Three steps before your first published trip. Our team reviews every submission — publishing stays locked until approval.
- Verify your account — Confirm your contact details and complete account verification, including your phone. This is the same baseline every TrustTrip member goes through — driver onboarding builds on top of it.
- Submit your driver profile — Provide identity, licence, and vehicle details with supporting documents. Vehicle information later appears as context on your trip pages, so passengers see a reviewed record — not just a free-text claim.
- Get reviewed and approved — Our team validates your submission; you follow the status live in your driver workspace. Once approved, publishing unlocks permanently — though eligibility can be suspended if documents lapse or platform rules are breached.
Publish and run trips
After approval, trips are created from your driver workspace — with route preview, per-segment amounts, and full booking management:
Publish a route in minutes
Set departure, stops, and destination with route preview, choose the schedule and seats, and set shared amounts per segment. Passengers can book your full route or just a segment between two stops — each booking shows exactly which portion it covers.
Bookings manage themselves
Confirmed bookings appear in your driver space with passenger context; seat counts update automatically. Messaging keeps coordination — boarding points, timing — on the record where support can help if needed.
Trip day and after
Driver tools cover updates, boarding coordination, and trip completion. After an eligible trip, reviews open in both directions — your review history is what future passengers see when deciding to book with you.
Amounts and payment
Passengers pay the shared trip amount you set for their segment, plus a TrustTrip platform fee per seat that is itemized separately — TrustTrip does not take a percentage of your shared amount. Every booking goes through secure checkout, so the amounts are documented before anyone boards. The complete breakdown, with current fee figures and a worked example, lives on the Pricing page.
See where passengers already want to go
Ride requests are open travel needs posted by passengers when no published trip fits — route, date, flexibility. When you publish a trip on a matching corridor, the requester is notified. Before choosing which routes to publish, requests are real demand data: corridors with open requests are corridors with waiting passengers.
Driver FAQ
You do. The shared trip amount per segment is yours to set when publishing — TrustTrip does not set, adjust, or take a percentage of it. The platform adds its own per-seat fee at checkout, itemized separately for the passenger. The Pricing page shows the current fees and the full breakdown.
No. There are no quotas, no required hours, and no penalties for publishing rarely. Publish one trip a year or three a week — the commitment is per published trip: once passengers have confirmed bookings on a trip, you are expected to honour it or cancel under the cancellation policy rules.
Cancel as early as you can — passengers with confirmed bookings are notified and the cancellation policy governs what happens, including refund reviews for passengers and consequences that scale with timing. A rare, early cancellation is understood; repeated or last-minute cancellations affect your standing on the platform.
Each booking shows the passenger's profile with their trip and review context — reviews work in both directions, so passengers build reputations too. Coordination happens in platform messaging, and if a passenger no-shows or behaves badly, you can review them and report the issue; the trust rules apply to everyone.
