After the maximum waiting time for a ride has elapsed, the ride is canceled and a cancellation fee is incurred. In the event this should happen, you may contact RUBI to inquire about ordering a same-day ride. Same-day rides cannot be guaranteed and are subject to driver availability.

What is a driver chaperone?
FAQ arrow open

A driver chaperone is when the driver accompanies the child to and from the vehicle. A driver chaperone is not included in the fare and must be selected when creating your ride request. To request a chaperone, a $10 surcharge is added to the fare. Drivers will park their vehicles and follow parent-specified drop-off or pickup instructions needed to release their child from school or an activity. When requesting a chaperone, parents must provide detailed instructions for drivers to ensure no issues occur.
