Safety

Safety at every step

From the moment you book to the moment you’re home, for riders and drivers alike.

Before the trip

Know who’s coming

  • Licensed drivers only

    Every driver holds a private hire licence from their council, including a DBS check.

  • Documents checked

    Operators check each driver’s licence, insurance and vehicle plate before they can go online.

  • Driver photo

    See your driver’s name and photo in the app before they arrive.

  • Car and plate shown

    Check the make, colour and number plate match before you get in.

During the trip

Someone’s always looking out

Share your trip live with people you trust, and get help with one press.

  • Live trip sharing

    Share your trip live with people you trust. They see your driver, car and route until you arrive.
  • SOS button

    Alerts the NifRide team and your trusted contacts with your location.
  • “Is everything OK?”

    If a trip stops unexpectedly, the app checks in with you and offers help.
  • Private calls

    Calls go through a NifRide number, so your phone number stays private.

After the trip

We listen, and we act

  • Rate the trip

    Your rating helps operators keep standards high.
  • Report a problem

    Tell us from the trip in the app. A person reads every safety report.
  • Help for urgent issues

    Urgent safety issues go to the front of the queue in in-app support.

For drivers

Your safety too

Drivers get the same protection, built into the driver app.

  • Driver SOS

    The same SOS button, alerting the NifRide team with your location.
  • Emergency contacts

    Choose people who can follow your trips while you’re online.
  • Rider PIN

    A four-digit PIN at pickup confirms you have the right passenger.

In an emergency, always call 999 first.

The SOS button alerts the NifRide team and your trusted contacts, but it does not replace the emergency services.

Your next ride is fairer.
