RHYDER is a women-focused rideshare built around safety. Request affordable rides from verified women drivers across the Phoenix metro: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa.

Watch your driver approach and follow your whole trip on the map. • Built-in safety. One-tap SOS, share your trip with emergency contacts, and masked phone calls that keep your number private. • Fair pricing. See an upfront fare estimate before you book, and 100% of your tip goes to your driver. • Secure payments. Pay in the app and get a receipt after every ride. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign up with your phone number and verify your identity. 2. Enter your pickup and destination to see an upfront fare estimate. 3. Get matched with a nearby woman driver and track her arrival. 4. Confirm with your PIN, ride safely, then rate and tip. SERVICE AREA Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa, Arizona. RHYDER is available to women 18 and over. Questions? tech@rhyder.club
