5 Safety Tips for Riding Solo at Night

Most rides are completely uneventful — but a few small habits make the ones that aren't go a lot smoother.

1. Check the plate before you get in. Match the driver's name, photo, and vehicle plate against what the app shows you.
2. Share your trip. RYDO lets you share a live tracking link with a friend or family member — use it, especially at night.
3. Sit in the back seat. It gives you more space and an easier exit if you ever need one.
4. Trust your gut. If something feels off before you get in, it's fine to cancel and request again.
5. Know where the SOS button is. RYDO's SOS button is visible during every trip — know where it is before you need it, not after.

None of this is about assuming the worst — it's just the kind of habit that costs nothing and occasionally matters a lot.
