    Frequently asked questions

    A kiosk stop is a fixed pickup and drop-off point — similar to a bus stop, but for our ridesharing service. By using set locations instead of door-to-door routing, we can pool riders heading in the same direction, optimize routes, and keep costs dramatically lower than traditional ridehail.

    Simply sign in to our platform, select your pickup kiosk and destination kiosk, choose your preferred time, and confirm. You'll receive updates as your Tesla approaches your pickup point.

    We currently operate in select areas of New Jersey and Georgia, focusing on communities that need affordable transportation the most. We're actively expanding to new regions.

    Our rides cost approximately half the price of traditional ridehail services. The exact fare depends on the distance between your pickup and drop-off kiosks. There's no surge pricing — ever.

    Absolutely. Many of our riders use HandyRides for daily trips to work, school, and healthcare appointments. Our kiosk-based scheduling makes it easy to build HandyRides into your daily routine.
