Four types of pre-booked rides

From airport pickups to city-to-city trips — describe your trip and hear back from drivers who offer that service.

Airport Transfers

Meet-and-greet pickup and drop-off at major US airports, with flight tracking and fixed prices.

Private Drivers

Hire a driver by the hour for business meetings, shopping, multi-stop errands, or a full day out.

Local Rides

Scheduled point-to-point rides across town — pre-booked, fixed price, and a specific driver at the agreed time.

City-to-City Rides

Direct rides between cities — LA ↔ Las Vegas, SF ↔ Tahoe, NYC ↔ Boston, and more.

Why RidePickup

We’re not a ride-hailing operator. We’re a marketplace that connects riders with independent professional drivers — so the trip happens directly between you two.

Choose by language

Filter by English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Spanish, and more.

Pre-book, not on-demand

You and the driver agree on time, route, and price before the trip — no surge pricing.

Direct contact, direct payment

You contact and pay the driver directly — we don’t take a cut of trips.

Local drivers, local knowledge

Based in the cities they serve — they know the airports, traffic, and local routes.

RidePickup is an information marketplace. We display driver profiles and relay requests — we don’t own vehicles, employ drivers, dispatch rides, collect fares, or provide transportation services. Every trip is a direct agreement between you and the driver you choose.

Are you a professional driver or small fleet?

List your profile on RidePickup to receive pre-booked trip requests from riders in your city. Works for independent drivers, limo operators, and small transportation companies. Free to list — we don’t take a cut of your trips.

Frequently asked

The quick version. More answers are in the FAQ.

No. Uber and Lyft dispatch rides and handle payment. RidePickup is a marketplace: we show driver profiles and relay requests. You pick a driver, coordinate directly with them, and pay them directly. We don’t collect fares or take a commission on trips.
Pre-booking is our model, so at least a few hours in advance. For airport transfers, 24 hours ahead is typical; for city-to-city and hourly bookings, 1-3 days out is common. Last-minute same-day requests sometimes work if a driver is free.
No. Posting a trip and receiving quotes from drivers is free. You only pay the driver you choose — the fare goes directly to them, not to us.
Yes — when you post a request, you can specify preferred service languages. Drivers list which languages they speak on their profile. You’ll only get quotes from drivers who can serve you in your preferred language.
