Description
Through Kangaride's website, drivers and passengers connect to rideshare together. Drivers post their rides and the empty seats in their vehicle, and passengers search for rides and book a seat in the one that gets them where they need to go. Kangaride has over 475,000 members and hundreds of rides booked each week.
Kangaride has a three-pronged approach to making ridesharing safer. All rides are rated by the driver and passengers and drivers' overall ratings are visible to passengers before booking.
Kangaride is considered much safer than other car-sharing services because a background check is performed on all drivers to ensure they have a valid drivers license.
Kangaride operates as Amigo Express in French.
