## What is RYDD?

When it’s time to head home just book your RYDD via the app. A RYDD driver will drive you home in the comfort of your own vehicle while a support vehicle follows and collects our driver once he’s safely dropped you off at your destination. 

Don’t take the chance of getting behind the wheel after a few drinks. Ensure you always have a designated driver on standby with RYDD.

•	Track your driver on route in real-time.

### 2/5 — Additional Charges

*2026-02-07, version 1.1.13*

Frustratingly Rydd shows you a few on booking but adds quite a bit on after the trip. They should just give the correct fee on booking.

### 5/5 — Fantastic service

*2025-04-11, version 1.1.13*

I love this app. It is so useful and the drivers are very friendly and they drive so safely. I find the rides very affordable and most of all so worth it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-11-13, version 1.1.13*

My first time trying RYDD - The driver did not arrive. I called the phone number and got “the number does not exist” message

### 5/5 — Great service!

*2023-09-10, version 1.1.13*

Registered in under 5 min, got a driver in 2 minutes, waited 15 minutes for them to arrive. Fantastic driver too

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-04-27, version 1.1.9*

Seems like they don’t know when it’s a public holiday. App always says outside of operating hours when it’s not on a holiday.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-03-22, version 1.1.9*

Fantastic app. Gives you the freedom to have a few drinks after work and not have to worry about driving your car home!

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2021-08-07, version 1.1.9*

Sometimes works, but not reliable in anything resembling a peak time, which is a pity. You inevitably end up having to use Uber and the having to fetch your car and pay for extra parking anyway, so may as well just use Uber…

### 1/5 — Convenient if you’re in the area of operation.

*2021-03-17, version 1.1.9*

But it wasn’t great. The driver drove carelessly, speeding, revving the car and some sketchy overtaking. 
The pricing isn’t too bad considering the service and if you’re really in need of assistance it’s great. 
It was also a bit worrying that the driver told us there’s no GPS allowed, luckily we knew where we were and I wasn’t alone. Moral of the story, good idea, doesn’t feel very safe. Especially when you are in a bit of a state after a night out.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-12-25, version 1.1.9*

I absolutely love this app, it gives us so many more options! 
It works out cheaper than Uber if you take into account that you’d have to Uber to your location and back again 😂 
The service is phenomenal and it’s wonderful knowing you don’t have to stress about who the designated driver will be. 
Thanks so much guys! We’ve needed this service for a LONG TIME

### 5/5 — Great service

*2020-12-23, version 1.1.9*

Our first time tonight a great experience. We ordered a trip from Bryanston to Kyalami. Our driver was Alastair we waited 19 min for the pick up and from there on we had an excellent chatty journey We will certainly be a regular client. Oh and we did go through a road block no issues. R190 from Bryanston to Kyalami more than reasonable.
