THE TIMEDRIVE PLATFORM
The TimeDrive App provides a platform where persons who seek transportation (Riders) also known as passengers can be matched with Drivers to take them to their destinations comfortably and at affordable rate. The TimeDrive taxi solution runs on two separate Apps, one for the Driver and the other for the Rider. Each person can create only one user account that enables access to the TimeDrive platform. TimeDrive reserves the right to shut down any additional accounts by the same person. By being active on the TimeDrive network as a driver, you authorise the platform to match you with a Rider requesting transportation. Matching is based on location, destination, user preferences, and platform efficiency and to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations.
Any decision by a user of our platform to offer or accept services is a decision made in such user’s sole discretion. Each transportation Service provided by a Driver to a Rider shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.
