## What is Need a ride home?

Need a Ride home makes asking for a lift as simple as one tap.

Open the app, tap "Pick me up," and a text message goes to the person you trust — with your exact location and a map link so they know precisely where to find you. No phone calls, no typing out where you are, no explaining.

Great for the whole family:
• Kids and teens texting a parent when they need a ride home
• Parents whose teen just got their license — finally, flip the script and let them do the driving for once
• Anyone who's out and just wants a familiar face to come get them

Whether you're picking up or being picked up, it's the same easy tap.

HOW IT WORKS
• Add the person who usually drives — that's the whole setup
• Tap "Pick me up" to text them your location instantly
• Somewhere else? Tap the map to set an exact pickup spot

SIMPLE AND PRIVATE
• No account, no sign-up, no password
• Your location is shared only when you tap send — never in the background
• Nothing is tracked, and there are no ads
• Your contacts stay on your device

WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Sends a normal text message through Messages
• No app required on the other person's phone
• The map link opens in Apple Maps or Google Maps

Need a Ride does one thing and does it well: get you picked up, fast.
