WHY NOW

3 structural shifts have converged to make daily driver marketplaces viable for the first time

1. Platform Shift:

Marketplaces now support this model

Trust & Tech Caught Up
Identity verification & background checks are standard
Mobile-first booking is normalized these days
People are comfortable booking services using Apps (Airbnb, Turo)
Payments, reviews, and insurance workflows are mature now

2. Demand Shift:

Tourist’s expectations grew

Post-COVID preference for flexibility, privacy & freedom
International Travelers started searching for better options
Driving anxiety in the US remains high for international visitors
Ride-hailing is expensive and unpredictable for full-day use

2. Supply Shift:

Driver’s behaviors changed

Drivers started protesting, unhappy with non-transparency
Driver’s expectation grew over time
Driver’s needs shifted to push and secure a predictable income
Driver’s started talking how much hourly they should earn
