August 2026 New feature Drivers

Scheduled Rides

Riders can now book a pickup in advance, so drivers can see and claim rides coming up later and plan their day around them, instead of only seeing trips that are happening right now. A re-confirmation step before each pickup keeps scheduled rides reliable.

  • Upcoming rides appear on the map alongside live trips
  • Claim a ride ahead of time, with a countdown to pickup
  • A quick re-confirm before pickup, with auto-release if missed

August 2026 Improvement Drivers

Key trip info stays visible

We upgraded the live trip experience so key trip information stays visible on your device while a ride is underway. When you jump between Budget Ride and your navigation app like Waze, the important details stay right there at a glance.
