When it comes to getting around town, ridesharing is one of the most convenient options. But at RideFer, convenience always comes second to your safety. Whether you’re heading to work, meeting friends, or running errands, following these smart tips will help ensure a smooth and secure experience—every time.
1. Always Match the Car & Driver
Before you get into any vehicle:
- Double-check the license plate, car model, and driver’s name/photo with what’s shown in your RideFer app.
- If anything doesn’t match, do not get in and report the issue right away.
2. Share Your Trip Details
Use RideFer’s “Share Ride” option to send your route and driver info to a trusted contact. They’ll be able to:
- Track your ride in real time
- Know when you arrive safely
3. Choose the Back Seat (When Possible)
Sitting in the back seat offers:
- More personal space
- Quicker exits on either side
- Better safety in case of emergency
4. Trust Your Instincts
If anything feels off—whether it’s the driver’s behavior or the situation—listen to your gut. You can:
- Cancel the ride
- End the trip early
- Contact RideFer Support anytime
5. Check Your Drop-Off Location
Make sure your destination is correctly pinned in the app before the ride starts. This avoids confusion, delays, or unnecessary detours.
6. Keep All Chats In-App
Avoid giving your phone number to drivers or continuing the conversation outside the app. RideFer’s in-app chat keeps things:
- Secure
- Anonymous
- Monitored for safety
7. Stay Aware of Your Surroundings
It’s easy to get lost in your phone during a ride, but staying alert is key. Take note of:
- The direction you’re going
- Road landmarks
- Driver behavior
8. Be Cautious at Night
Night rides aren’t unsafe by default—but it’s smart to:
- Avoid isolated pickup/drop-off points
- Stay in well-lit areas
- Ride with a friend if possible
RideFer also flags priority rides for enhanced monitoring during late hours.
9. Report Anything Suspicious
Whether it’s something small or serious, don’t hesitate to report:
- Drivers acting inappropriately
- Vehicle issues
- Route problems
RideFer acts fast on all safety feedback—and your report could help others too.
10. Always Buckle Up
No matter how short the trip is, always wear your seatbelt. It’s the simplest—and most effective—way to protect yourself.
