Questions
WhyDrive in plain English.
Is WhyDrive a taxi company?
WhyDrive is being built as a technology and booking network connecting customers with participating licensed taxi and private hire drivers. Local licensing and the legal status of each journey still matter.
Do drivers race to accept jobs?
No. Smart Dispatch is designed to select a suitable driver first rather than broadcasting every booking in a fastest-finger race.
How does WhyDrive try to be fair?
Eligibility comes first. Where several drivers are similarly suitable, recent eligible workload and idle time can help balance allocation.
What about airport and long-distance work?
Major journeys can use their own fairness logic, while Smart Return Matching can help reduce empty return mileage where timings and availability work.
Will there be an app?
The WhyDrive experience is designed for iPhone, Android and web use. Store availability and area-by-area launch dates will be announced during rollout.
