Do private rides require commercial insurance?

Pax was telling me about it.
He said he was able to view which drivers had water, candy and snacks.
He picked a female driver two weeks in advance and on the morning of PU, she was late.
Pax called driver, lives in Arl. and made the trip to R'son for a 5 mile ride.
Pax offered to cancel since he didn't want to pull her from Arl. but driver apologized for being late and said it was her job and did PU (LATE AS F), Pax quit using the app.

Looks like the fee is .99 cents each for the pax / driver. .99 is reasonable fee to see route,pax etc..... 99 seems reasonable for some people to screen cars, drivers, amenities, etc
The 3$ incentive is recommended and can be adjusted...essentially IDs the tip up front...not sure if it can be removed in case of a bad experience....so for a trip to a casino the ax could show a dead head return 'incentive'
... the guy today did give his card to call 'Directv' next time, I should have asked how he handles insurance coverage when running independent!? I can still chat w him in the app so may do so

Here is my take on UZURV.
1) It fills the gap for people that cannot get a Uber (rural areas or early morning airport runs), which is the only positive I see with it.
2) The system defaults at a $3 incentive. If I see a request that is manually changed to less than $3, it indicates a cheap passenger or simply do not understand what the incentives mean.
3) Majority of the rides are simply not profitable (within a few miles to pick-up), which means a lot of dead miles
4) And if rides are close, the requester still has to choose you.
5) You have to block out up to an hour to ensure you can pick up the ride. The same applies to pre arranged rides which I usually add to my quote the miles and time I have to set aside to be available.
I have done two rides since it went live and have shown interest in about 50.

One of my passengers told me about it too. Said his previous driver was really pushing it on him. Guess he wanted the weekly Highland Park to DFW and back runs. I signed up to check it out but I don't see the advantage for a part timer at all.

Yo Shatner...I hear ya! I'm not the brightest Bulb in the Chandelier; BUT, chew on this a bit. I'm not full time either. I NEVER drive more 12-15 hours a week...90% of that between 7AM & 10PM. I live less than 6-7 minutes from the North entrance to DFW (Grapevine) and built my driving biz on the back of my full time biz....swimming pool service. Loaded up my Customers Pool Invoices with those friggin Cards....YOWZA! I can hear it....What's your point Fool?! THIS...what do you do (Everyone Think On This) for a living outside scrUber that you could use to promote your IVFH Biz?! IE! Work in Bar / Resto? I'm cruisin the parking lot on weekend nights gracing every windshield with card.....work retail/ mall/ Tom Thumb.....repeat last step.....always be PROMOTING! Churchgoer?? The Sunday Bulletin/ Yeah, that bloody parking lot again! I have a Super- Regular 86YO Travelin' Machine that goes to Church every Sunday (when She is in town) and hands out my cards to the other old geezers if they mention the word "travel" to her! She actually went into Church Office and copied the last card She had in her purse and kept passing the copies out at Bible Study one morning! She received a box of my new cards(1000) 6 days later. Think, think, think Sportsfans.....UBER and that TURD Kalanik suck!!! We know it so move on and make YOUR IVFH work!As bridge to building clientele...

...its simply a reservation process that allows pax to screen drivers; request 'favorite'drivers etc.
... requires the driver be on Lyft and/or Uber; once the driver arrives the pax initiates the request; and (hopefully) the closest driver (the one you are sitting in pings)...
worked fine for me going to dfw a couple of days ago on Lyft (was just testing it)
In terms of the seats wrapped in lights; hopefully he posted that pick on Uzurve so you can screen for / against it

I'd prefer to see a TNC (for Uberyouber, that's "Transportation Network Company" - basically what Uber and Lyft are called in legal terms) do this kind of driver selection & scheduling in-app instead of having a secondary app for this.
The way this works is that while you can set up an appointment with a specific Uber or Lyft driver and have them drive out to the pickup location, from that point the rider has to make the request to Uber or Lyft for the ride request. It might go to the driver who just drove out to the pickup location,or to some other random online driver 15-20min. away.
Uzurv can't fix that algorithm issue of Uber & Lyft's. Only Uber & Lyft can.
Alternatively, you could beg & plead for FARE to expand from Austin & Corpus up to Dallas.

It's been working pretty great for me. I've built up my own clients. Their request request in the app come directly to me. If I have 15min to respond to private request and if I don't then the request goes to the general pool for other drivers. My average incentive is $25, average trip is $45 XL and $27X.
