Ride Fare Control No, set by Lyft No, set by Uber Yes, drivers can set their own fares
Hidden Fees Booking fees, service fees, and commission on each ride Booking fees, service fees, and commission on each ride No hidden fees, no subscription — riders see every fee upfront before they pay, drivers never pay a cent
Driver Write-Offs Mileage, gas, vehicle maintenance, phone expenses Mileage, gas, vehicle maintenance, phone expenses Mileage, gas, vehicle maintenance, phone expenses — no subscription fee to write off, because there isn't one
Earnings Potential Reduced by platform fees, commissions, and surge cuts Reduced by platform fees, commissions, and surge cuts Higher potential earnings since all fares and tips go directly to the driver

Why CohoTrip Stands Out for Drivers

No Commissions

Unlike Lyft and Uber, and unlike our old $50/month plan, drivers now pay nothing to drive — you set your fare and keep every dollar of it.

No Surge Pricing

Riders get fair rates, and drivers don't lose a cut of peak fares to the platform.

Full Fare Transparency

Drivers know exactly what they earn and can control pricing.

Why us

Overall, CohoTrip aims to provide a platform where drivers have more control over their earnings and schedule, while offering riders a transparent and flexible ride-share experience.

Driver Independence

Drivers on CohoTrip set their own rates for rides. They are not restricted by mileage-based pay and can decide how much to charge for each trip.

Keep 100% of Your Fare – No Subscription, No Commission!

At CohoTrip, we believe drivers deserve full control over their income. Unlike other rideshare platforms that take a cut from every ride, drivers pay absolutely nothing to use CohoTrip — not a subscription, not a commission.
‍
✅ You set the fare – And you keep every dollar of it
✅ Riders see one small platform fee – Added transparently at checkout, never taken from your pay
✅ More freedom – Set your own hours and maximize your earnings

Driver Tips

Tips given by travelers to drivers are not handled by CohoTrip. They are directly sent to the driver's preferred method (Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, etc.). CohoTrip does not take any portion of these tips.

Background Checks

All drivers undergo a background check as part of their profile completion process. The background check is conducted through Checkr, and the link for this process is sent to the driver's email.

Traveler Experience

You have the flexibility to discuss and negotiate pricing, travel details, and arrangements directly with the drivers via chat. Payments are typically made after the ride is completed, and travelers receive an email confirmation once the ride details and charges are agreed upon.

Safety and Transparency

For safety, travelers can view important details about the driver, including their photo, vehicle, and license number, before confirming a ride. This ensures transparency and helps build trust between drivers and travelers.

Our story

My journey into entrepreneurship with CohoTrip began over 7 years ago when I drove part-time with competitors. This experience allowed me to explore my city, meet diverse people, and understand the shortcomings in existing services like pay, tips, and communication for both drivers and riders. These observations inspired me to create CohoTrip, a service not only for local commuting but also for travel purposes, catering to those who prefer a comfortable and personalized travel experience over traditional methods like buses or flights with layovers.

Our app promises a relaxed journey where passengers can enjoy the scenery or engage with friendly drivers, offering a more enjoyable alternative to other transportation options. If these benefits resonate with you, I encourage you to sign up and create an account to experience these advantages firsthand.

Going out of town? Use HopnTravel.

Inside the same app, drivers post trips between cities and sell their empty seats, and riders book a seat for a set price instead of flying, busing or driving alone. No trip going your way? Post a request with your budget and let drivers come to you.
