Reliable Rider Clubs Members Only, No Strangers

Reliable Rider Clubs (DBA’s) are motivated by cost-savings and operational-efficiencies for club members, rather than by profits generated for corporate shareholders and stakeholders. 

Reliable Rider Clubs are city (zip code) based ride share systems with no more than 30 to 60 members each.  Our members no longer want the liabilities of driving, auto ownership and maintenance for a variety of reasons. Our members pay nothing until a Reliable Rider Club in their city activates with a minimum of 30 members. Monthly or Quarterly online Zoom meetings are scheduled for clubs to self-manage, customize, and improve their Ride Share operational efficiencies and policies. Each club will align their management policies with their member preferences and decisions. Since the clubs are self-managed, the members select the Autos, Drivers, Insurance, Fuel and Maintenance providers. Reliable Rider, LLC facilitates the administrative support, IT infrastructure support and the background checks on potential members and drivers for the clubs. The opportunities for social and business networking within each club are numerous.

 

Known Drivers, Known Riders, Known Vehicles

Club Drivers must have at least three years of driving experience. Background checks of criminal history and driver’s records are required. The Reliable Rider Club pays for these background checks. If safety concerns or complaints are received from club members, a majority vote by club members can terminate a driver.

Club Members (Riders) receive background checks of criminal history prior to their membership being activated, which means more safety for drivers and riders. Having a maximum club size of 30 to 60 members means you won’t be riding with strangers, but rather with people you see on a weekly or monthly basis. This creates opportunities to build relationships and network within the club. The background check cost ($75) will be billed to the applicants’ credit card. The applicants’ current residential address will be verified and their criminal history record will be obtained. The background information reports will be retained in the Reliable Rider administrative databases. Membership will be granted or denied based on a review of the background information obtained by Reliable Rider, LLC. Minor criminal violations will not prohibit someone from membership. The $75 background check fee is non-refundable, even if their membership is not granted. Documented complaints or concerns about club members are discussed during the Club’s Online Meetings. Club Members can be suspended or terminated by a majority vote of the club members during the online meetings.

Club vehicles are serviced and inspected weekly on Saturday mornings.

This means safer rides, because the age, quality and maintenance of the vehicles is transparent to all club members and drivers.

New Technologies, Lower Costs, Shared Ownership

New technology solutions have emerged that organize alternate routes and fill empty seats, while integrating real-time arrivals and departures information.  Club members can book their ride pickup time and location and their destination location up to 90 days in advance.  Other club members can share the same ride if their pickup location and destination location align with the route.  Club members pay $250 per month for up to 250 miles of transportation in that month.  If a club member uses more than 250 miles of transportation in any month, their credit card will be billed $1.50 per extra mile.  With shared ownership the operating costs of transportation are divided by the number of members in the club and by the miles of transportation used by each member. Operating costs include: drivers, vehicles, insurance, fuel, service maintenance, repairs and administrative costs. Club members want safety, low costs, and availability. Reliable Rider Clubs (DBA’s) are motivated by cost-savings and operational-efficiencies for club members, rather than by profits generated for corporate shareholders and stakeholders.  If shared mobility, shared ownership and lower transportation costs have piqued your interest - register your interest.
