What we offer

Upfront Fares

Base fare ₹50 + per-km as per the Tamil Nadu RTO tariff. Any peak-hour surcharge is shown on the booking screen before you confirm — no hidden charges, no after-the-fact surge.

Live Tracking & Safety

See your driver every step. In-app SOS, live trip sharing, verified drivers, and two-way ratings that protect passengers and drivers alike.

Pay the Driver Directly

Other apps take 20–30% from the driver. Zride takes 0%. You pay the driver by UPI or cash; Zride is funded by a small flat platform fee — never a share of the fare.

WOMEN DRIVERS · WOMEN PASSENGERS

SheRide — Women-only, at the same fare.

A women passenger can request a women auto driver with a single tap at booking time. Same fare, same platform fee — just extra peace of mind. Women drivers get a full suite of safety tools on their side of the app.

One-tap request

Women passengers see a SheRide toggle on the booking screen. Enable it, declare the passenger count, and Zride routes only to women drivers nearby.

Same fare, no premium

SheRide costs exactly the same as a regular ride. No surcharge, no "safety tax". Safety should never be something women have to pay extra for.

No silent downgrade

If no women drivers are available nearby, the booking is cancelled cleanly at no charge — we never silently match you to a male driver without your consent.

Women drivers set their own hours

Each woman driver picks her operating hours (e.g. 6 AM – 8 PM). Ride requests outside her window don't even reach her phone.

Live location sharing, always on

Every SheRide driver has her live ride location shared with her registered emergency contacts — mandatory, never optional.

Women-only care team

Care calls and SOS responses for women drivers are handled exclusively by Zride's women care agents. Because some conversations need the right listener.

Coming for women drivers (welfare roadmap)

  • Subsidised auto rentals — women without their own vehicle will be able to rent autos from Zride at a discounted rate (planned).
  • Maternity break support — a one-time welfare payout during pregnancy and post-delivery.
  • Menstrual health rest days — 2 paid days off per cycle, funded from the welfare pool.
  • Free safety kit — pepper spray, dashcam and GPS tracker subsidised by Zride at sign-up.
  • Free training school — partner-run 2-week auto-driving training for women who want to start.

Why Zride is different

Driver welfare built-in

Legal support, document renewals and regular care calls — a real team behind every driver.

Family support programme

Drivers who opt in get help with their children's school books, uniforms and fees. Care calls every two weeks to check in on driver wellbeing.

Parcel delivery

Send a small package across the city. OTP-verified pickup and delivery, and a live tracking link for the receiver. The driver decides what they can carry.

Legal + document support

In-app SOS, accident-scene legal aid, and a document-renewal service for FC, permit and DL — Zride's team handles the paperwork for a flat ₹500 fee.

Sponsorship for outstanding kids

If your child shines in sports or academics — sports academy selection, state-level competition, top ranks — Zride sponsors their coaching, academy fees, competition travel or tuition.

Safe Driver tiered rewards

Clean record unlocks badges — Safe → Trusted → Star → Champion. Rewards scale from priority matching to cash bonuses, and Champion drivers get public recognition.

Driver care calls

Real humans call every driver every two weeks — to check in on you, your family, and anything going on. Because a driver is never just a device ID to us.

Mutual respect

Two-way rating protects drivers from abusive passengers just as much as it protects passengers from rude drivers. Behaviour tags feed into automatic platform enforcement.

Simple, transparent pricing

Passenger ride

  • Base fare: ₹50 minimum + per-km rate as per the Tamil Nadu RTO tariff.
  • Platform fee: a small fee per ride (currently ₹5 for autos, GST included), shown on the booking screen before you confirm.
  • You pay the fare and the platform fee directly to the driver — by UPI or cash.
  • Peak hour surcharge applies during high-demand windows (shown on booking screen).
  • Night charges (11 PM – 5 AM) and waiting charges per the Tamil Nadu tariff.

Zride Parcel

  • Fare and platform fee work the same way as a ride. Declared value up to ₹2,000.
  • For small, personal packages — the driver decides what they can carry.

For drivers

  • Zero commission. Fares, tips, peak and waiting charges are 100% yours.
  • A flat daily platform fee (autos ₹20/day) — free to drive until Zride is busy in your area (up to 90 days); the daily fee starts only after that.
