Location Sharing – Information for Drivers

What does location sharing mean?

You can share your location with the passenger during a trip.
This allows the passenger to see the trip progress and check whether everything is going according to plan.

It increases predictability and reduces phone calls asking, “Where are you?”

Do I have to share my location?

No.

Location sharing is completely voluntary.
You can give your consent or decline it.

When is location sharing active?

Tracking is automatically activated:

  • 15 minutes before the trip starts

  • during the trip

  • up to 15 minutes after the trip ends

After that time, your location is no longer shared.

How do I enable location sharing?

For the feature to work:

  1. Give your consent in the app.

  2. Turn on location services on your phone.

  3. Set location access to “Always” (continuous access).

Without these settings, your position will not be transmitted.

What does the passenger see?

If you share your location, the passenger can see:

  • trip progress

  • your position on the route

  • information whether the trip is on schedule

Your location history is not shared outside the trip time window.

Can I change my decision?

Yes.

You can disable location sharing at any time in your phone or app settings.

Why is it worth sharing your location?

  • fewer phone calls from passengers

  • greater sense of safety

  • transparent trip progress

  • better user experience
