How to Share Your Booking Link With Riders the Right Way
Uber and Lyft drivers share a booking link the right way by offering it at the end of a good ride, saying one plain line, and leaving the rider an easy way to keep it, like a text, a card, or a QR code in the car.
The best moment to share your link
Share your link in the last two minutes of a ride that went well.
The rider just experienced the thing you are asking them to book again. They are relaxed, the trip is almost over, and the value is obvious to them right now. That is the moment the offer lands.
Do not open with it. Do not pitch it at pickup. A rider who has not seen your driving yet has no reason to want you again. Let the ride earn the ask.
What to actually say
Keep it to one plain line. Something a driver would really say.
> "If you ever need a ride like this again, you can book me directly. I will send you my link."
That is the whole script. You are not selling. You are telling a rider who already likes your service that there is a way to get it again on purpose.
If the rider says yes, send the link before they get out of the car. A promise to send it later is a link that never gets sent.
Where to put your link so a rider keeps it
A link the rider loses is a link that did nothing. Give them more than one way to hold onto it.
- Text it to them on the spot. A rider who has your link in their messages can find it a week later.
- Keep a small card in the car with your handle and a QR code. The rider scans it or pockets it.
- Put a QR code where a rider sees it, like the back of the headrest or a window cling. A rider scans it while they wait.
- Tell them to save you in their contacts with the link in the notes.
The goal is the same every time. When the rider next needs a ride you can do, your link is one tap away, not lost in a memory of a ride they took once.
Make the link easy to say yes to
The easier the link is to share and remember, the more riders keep it.
Your handle is short and it is yours. `app.solodrive.pro/t/{handle}` reads like a name, not a random string. A rider can say it, type it, or scan it. Pick a handle that sounds like you so a rider who met you once can find you again.
Send the raw link plainly. Do not dress it up. A rider trusts a clear link from a driver they just rode with.
What not to do
A few moves turn a good offer into an awkward one. Skip them.
- Do not pitch mid-ride. It makes the whole trip feel like a setup.
- Do not hand a rider a long, messy URL. Use your handle link and a QR code.
- Do not ask more than once. Offer it clean, send it, and let the rider decide.
- Do not make it about leaving Uber or Lyft. It is not. You keep driving the apps. The link is just how a rider who wants you again can find you.
Does sharing your link break Uber or Lyft's rules?
Sharing a way for a rider to book you directly is a common question, and it is a fair one.
SOLODRIVE.PRO works alongside Uber and Lyft, not instead of them. You take app-assigned rides the same as always. The booking link is for riders who choose to come back to you on their own. For a fuller answer, see Is It Legal to Take Riders Off Uber?.
What it costs
You can share your link and take direct bookings on the Free tier at no monthly cost.
SOLODRIVE.PRO charges a platform fee that is a fraction of what the apps take. The fee steps down as you move up tiers, and the top Elite tier carries no per-ride fee at all. You set your own fare on a direct booking, so the price a returning rider pays is your call.
