Today, we're going to talk about how to run a race for application InDrive. I know many of you already have experience with other transportation apps, but there's always something new to learn, right? Let's go!
Getting Started with InDrive
Have you heard about the InDrive app and are curious to learn more? Today we will cover all aspects of this service, from registration to resolving more complex issues, such as refunds and cancellations. In addition, we will share valuable tips for drivers who want to maximize their earnings and avoid setbacks.
If you've used apps like 99 Pop and Uber, you'll notice that InDrive has some peculiarities. As soon as you open the app, it starts searching for available rides in your area. It's important to be online to receive these requests. When a ride appears, you can see information such as the origin, destination, payment method, and prices.
Accepting and Trading Rides
To get started, the InDrive sign-up process is simple and straightforward. After downloading the app, you’ll need to enter your phone number and enable location tracking on your device. The same app can be used by both drivers and passengers.
Submit your personal and vehicle details for review. Approval times vary depending on demand, but generally take up to 48 hours. If there is a delay, please send a message to suporte@indrive.com, as this is the quickest way to get a response.
One of the differences with InDrive is the possibility of negotiating the fare. If the fare suggested by the passenger doesn't please you, you can offer a higher price. However, there is a maximum limit for this negotiation, so don't overdo it! If the passenger accepts your offer, the ride is yours. If not, you can try again with another passenger.

Adding Balance
Adding funds to your InDrive profile is simple. You can choose from three methods: generate a payment slip for cash payment, use a credit card, or make a bank transfer via Pix. Pix is the fastest option, as the credit is released immediately.
Cancellation Fees and Refunds
Unlike other apps like Uber, InDrive does not charge cancellation fees. Therefore, if you accept a ride and the passenger cancels, there will be no compensation. It is crucial to pay attention to the waiting time before canceling a ride to avoid being charged unfairly.
Regarding refunds, if a passenger fails to pay, it is recommended to contact support via email documenting the incident. Support will analyze the situation and take the necessary measures, which may include blocking the defaulting passenger.
On the Passenger Path
After the passenger accepts your offer, you will see a clock counting down the time until you reach the pick-up location. It is always a good idea to send the passenger a message letting them know that you are on your way. This way, they are aware and can prepare for the trip. In InDrive, as soon as you click the “I have arrived” button, the passenger is notified and an audible alert is played on their app.
During the Trip
When you click “I’ve arrived,” your ride is automatically considered started. This is a bit different from other apps that require you to swipe a button to start your ride, so be careful! During your ride, you can use navigation apps like Waze, which can be set up directly in InDrive’s preferences.
Concluding the Journey
At your final destination, click “End Trip” to end the ride. If there is a problem, such as a passenger not paying, you should report this using the “Cancel” button instead of ending the ride. Clicking “End Trip” permanently ends the ride, and any subsequent complaints may be more difficult to resolve.
Earnings and Price Dynamics
Earnings on InDrive vary depending on demand. During peak times, you can negotiate higher rates. However, long rides generally pay less, so opt for short rides over medium-length rides, especially during busy times.
Targeting Tool
The targeting tool can be useful, but it tends to reduce the frequency of rides. Use it sparingly and preferably during peak times to maximize your earnings.
Best Regions to Work
In São Paulo, the regions that use InDriver the most are those close to the city center, such as Santa Cecília, Consolação, Bela Vista, Tatuapé, and areas with a high concentration of LGBT people and night workers. Demand is especially high during the early hours of the morning.
Tips for New In Drive Drivers
For those who are just starting out, it is essential to have financial management for your business. I didn't do this myself at the beginning, but when I started to manage my finances better, everything changed for the better. In the next video, I will show you an exclusive tool to help app drivers manage their finances. This way, you can better control your earnings and expenses, ensuring a more efficient operation.
Safety and Precautions
After all, working with InDrive requires attention to security. Negotiate payments at the beginning of the ride and avoid giving rides to third parties without confirmation. The app does not offer the same security coverage as other services, so caution is essential.
Building a United Community at In Drive
In addition to mastering the app and financial management, it is important to share knowledge and help other drivers. Unfortunately, we see a lot of unnecessary discussions between drivers and even content creators. I believe that the path should be one of unity and collaboration. This way, we can all grow together and strengthen our category.
InDrive can be a great option for drivers, as long as you are aware of its specificities and take the necessary precautions. In fact, working with InDrive is like being a taxi driver: you need to be alert and prepared to deal with unexpected events.
I hope these tips help you make the most of the InDrive app and improve your work routine. Stay tuned for more updates and see you next time!
