Not as a feature. As the whole point of the app.
Built for the people rideshare forgot.
HERide started in Atlanta in 2019. A Black-woman founded rideshare company. Every driver is a woman. Every choice is made with our riders and drivers in mind.
Why we started.
Rideshare became one of the biggest things in the world without ever asking: what would this look like if women built it?
A woman calling for a ride. A woman driving that ride. Two people who might have been thinking the same thing every time they used Uber or Lyft — "I hope this is safe."
HERide is the answer. Every driver is a woman. Every ride has real safety tools built in. Every fare pays the driver more. And every rider gets a person on support, not a chatbot.
How we got here.
- 2019HERide is born
Jillian starts HERide in Atlanta with one big idea: a rideshare where every driver is a woman.
- 2020First rides
The first HERide rides happen in Atlanta. Word spreads fast — women want this.
- 2023We come to the airport
In September, HERide becomes the third rideshare app ever cleared to pick up at Atlanta's airport. Uber and Lyft are the other two.
- 2024Hello, Athens
HERide launches in Athens, Georgia — UGA campus and downtown Athens.
- Today570+ drivers, two cities
More than 570 women drivers across Atlanta and Athens. And we're just getting started.
Our four rules.
These aren't posters on a wall. These are the rules we build the app around, every single day.
We're an Atlanta company. Our drivers and riders live here. Our money stays here.
Drivers keep 80% of every fare. That's higher than Uber or Lyft. And we listen when drivers tell us what's broken.
When you email us, a real person answers. When you file a safety report, a real person reads it.
