What is Ridesharing?

The rideshare industry is taking the nation by a storm…Literally! There are a number of apps in various cities that are utilized for hailing taxicab-like services for commercial transport services. A rideshare driver, also known as “peer-to-peer services”, is anyone who uses their personal vehicle as taxis.

These peer-to-peer taxi services take regular people with regular cars and and convert them into taxi drivers, picking people up wherever they are, taking them wherever they want, at rates competitive to taxi services. The best part of these services is that the drivers go through an extensive background check, have an impeccable driving records, and will take their passengers anywhere that they need to go. Drivers of these services are most often working at least half-time, compared to full time office jobs, and earn up to $1,500 of “1099 contractor” income per week.
