I have been using this app as a driver since last October. It was going well, suddenly without any reason they suspended my account, the reason they said ' I'm not responding to the inquiries', that's totally unreal. They can go through my reviews and messages. Anyhow I have to get 3 payments which is due since the 3rd week of February. It's really not fair to me.

Accounts are automatically suspended by our system if there is a breach of our Terms of Service. Suspensions only occur after multiple warnings. Please follow the instructions in the app.

This is by far the worst ride-sharing / carpool experience I have ever had. I booked a ride and realized within 2 minutes that the pickup location was too far. I simply wanted to switch to another driver who was closer. So I canceled — only two minutes after booking — and they charged me: $13 in cancellation fees +$5 in commission fees For a ride that never happened. That’s almost $20 taken for nothing. What makes it even worse is that there is no real customer support. You can’t talk to ahuman

Thank you for your feedback. Our 50/50 policy only applies to late cancellations. When a booking is cancelled on time, passengers receive a full refund minus the booking fee. We’ve reviewed your case and sent you a follow-up email. Please take a look when you can. You can always reach us at support@poparide.com. We’re here to help 😊.

Got cancelled on by 3 drivers in a row. Nothing on this app is reliable because the drivers use multiple apps at the same time, and often show up with full cars, or keep their listings up without even opening the app or responding to messages. Allowing drivers to confirm ride requests up to right when the car leaves is ridiculous. They should have to confirm at least an hour in advance so that passengers can actually plan around. License plate numbers not being mandatory is also insane to me.

What’s new

Winter is here, and just like swapping to winter tires, we’ve given the app a tune-up for a smoother, more reliable ride. This update includes small bug fixes and stability improvements.
