Common questions

Good questions, plain answers.

How do I pay for a ride?
Cash or card — your choice, set per-ride at booking. Card is processed securely; cash is paid directly to the driver at drop-off.
Can I save my favorite driver?
Yes. After any completed ride, tap "Add to favorites" on the driver's card. The next time you book, your favorite gets the request first before it goes to general dispatch.
How are drivers vetted?
Every RideWave driver completes background checks, vehicle inspection, and identity verification before they're approved. Approval is per-tier — Wave Black drivers meet additional standards.
Do you serve DIA Airport?
Yes — pickups and drop-offs at Denver International, with flight tracking so your driver knows when to arrive. Meet & greet service is available on request.
What if I need a ride to the mountains?
We serve the I-70 corridor — Evergreen, Idaho Springs, Georgetown — and ski-resort runs by request. Book a few hours in advance for mountain trips so we can match you with a tier that fits.
Is RideWave a real local company?
Yes. RideWave is operated by RMRS LLC (Rocky Mountain Ride Share), a Colorado company headquartered in Westminster. Colorado PUC LL-04585.
