2. Pleasepleaseplease add stops and destinations in the app.

Did you know you can add stops before you get in the car? Now you do.

There’s a nifty little feature to add multiple stops to your journey. You can do this before you get in the car and during your ride. Likewise, if you decide you need to go somewhere different while you’re in the car, please change the destination in the app.

You might think it doesn’t matter whether you do this or not, but it really does.

Here’s why.

You might have heard your Driver’s app pinging for more requests while you’re in the car with them. Us Drivers are able to pick up more journeys before our trip with you has ended, which makes it quicker for us to earn money.

This is usually based on how close to the destination we are.

Firstly, if you don’t change the destination in the app and instead give verbal directions to somewhere completely different, we won’t be able to pick up another ride on the way.

We won’t be close enough to the destination you first punched in for the app to give us another ride.

Secondly, your Driver may have already picked up another ride on the way to your destination. That person is waiting (probably on the corner of a four-way) for us to come and get them. If you suddenly decide to go somewhere different, or to ask your Driver to stop for some late-night drive-thru, it will mean our next passenger has to wait. They usually get frustrated, cancel the fare, and we lose our next job. That’s not very nice for either of us, is it?

Remember, someone else is getting in after you. Be considerate!
