If you’re a rideshare driver, you’ve probably felt it–earnings are shrinking, more drivers flooding the road, and full-time rideshare is becoming unsustainable. The reality is that rideshare alone, as we once knew it, is no longer a viable way to make a living.
The good news? There’s a solution to all of this.
Drivers everywhere are realizing that the only way to take control of their income is by building their own books of business with private clientele. The days of relying on unpredictable apps, algorithmic favoritism, and platform commissions/take-rates are over. If you want stability and real earnings, it’s time to start doing Private Rides.
When rideshare first hit the scene, it was a game-changer. Drivers could log in whenever they wanted and make quick money. But today? That same model is broken. Or, perhaps there’s a better way to put this. Rideshare started as a gold rush–those who got in early struck it rich. But just like in California, the rush is over, and now drivers are left and it feels like sifting for scraps.
Drivers aren’t just looking for a way out. They need one.
In the Spring of 2024, HUM did something no other company has done–we launched Private Rides as a core feature, giving drivers a simple, low-cost way to take control of their business. And it took off like a rocket.
HUM is the only platform that lets you seamlessly transition from traditional rideshare to Private Rides without having to:
✅ Get your own commercial insurance (which costs $800–$1,500/month)
✅ Pay for expensive licensing
✅ Struggle to find customers on your own
With HUM, you pay as little as $39.95/month and instantly gain access to Private Rides. That’s it. No surprise fees. No commissions taken from your fares.
Have you ever had a passenger ask if you can pick them up after an event? After dinner? Or if you simply do private trips?
Building your private book of business is as easy as saying “yes!”
Riders are already looking for trusted drivers they can count on. Instead of sending them off to “ride request ether,” you can take control–exchange contact information, agree on schedules, and turn a one-time ride into a long-term client.
Private Rides give you the freedom you deserve as an independent contractor to unlock real financial independence. Let’s break it down.
What happens if you just get two repeat riders?
Let’s say you secure two private clients who each take five rides per month individually. If your average fare is $23, that’s:
That’s $230 extra per month from just two clients. Not 10. Not 20. Two.
Now, imagine just a few more…
Many private clients use HUM for daily commute–that can be 5 rides per week, per client. If you lock in five repeat clients who take five rides per week, that’s:
Suddenly, you’re earning meaningful income from a small, trusted rider base–without relying on random ride requests.
Right now, there are drivers earning $5,000+ per month performing only 150 rides per month–that’s fewer than 5 rides per day.
Compare that to traditional rideshare, where drivers grind through dozens of random trips per day, averaging $7-$10 per trip, working longer hours to get by.
If you wanted to do Private Rides without HUM, here’s what you’d have to deal with:
🚫 $800–$1,500/month in commercial insurance costs
🚫 Permits and licensing to operate legally
🚫 Marketing your own business and hoping to find clients
🚫 No platform support to make private rides seamless
HUM eliminates all of that.
✅ $39.95/month subscription (for a sedan)
✅ Built-in commercial insurance included
✅ Access to Private Rides immediately
✅ Keep 100% of fares and tips
No other platform does this.
If you’re waiting for traditional rideshare to fix itself, you’ll be waiting forever. The only solution is to break free.
With HUM you take control:
The drivers who thrive in 2024 won’t be relying on traditional rideshare. They’ll be doing Private Rides. Are you ready to take control? Then get started with HUM today.
