Empower was created to support drivers who struggle to earn a sustainable income under traditional rideshare models and to offer passengers a better alternative. By cutting out the corporate middleman, Empower connects passengers directly with drivers, offering more affordable, customizable rides while ensuring drivers keep 100% of their fares. This model benefits drivers by giving them control, fair pay, and dedicated support, and passengers by providing transparent, convenient transportation.
Keep 100% of Your Earnings
Unlike traditional rideshare platforms that take commissions, Empower drivers receive 100% of the fare. Drivers pay a subscription fee instead of losing money per ride, allowing them to maximize their earnings and build a sustainable income on their own terms.
Set Your Own Rates
Drivers have full control over their fares and can set rates that work best for them. Alternatively, Empower offers suggested rate cards designed to help optimize earnings, giving drivers flexibility and choice in their pricing.
Transparent Ride Details
Before accepting any ride, drivers know the fare, pickup location, and destination. This transparency ensures drivers can make informed decisions and avoid surprises, enhancing their overall experience.
Local Dedicated Support
Empower provides each driver with access to a dedicated, local customer support team. This personalized service helps drivers navigate challenges quickly and efficiently, reinforcing the platform’s commitment to treating drivers as valued customers.
Referral Rewards for Drivers and Riders
Drivers can earn a free month’s subscription or up to $175 in cash for each new driver they refer to the platform, depending on the market. Similarly, drivers earn $5+ in cash for every rider they refer, making Empower a rewarding community for everyone involved.
