How much longer will it take me to pick up a passenger?

We will never match you with passengers that deviates you more than 10 minutes from your original route unless you have made specific changes to your settings to allow for more deviation.

Can I choose my passengers?

Of course! Passenger will connect you with other people that has an overlapping or similar route to yours. However, if you don’t want to drive a particular passenger, you can always decline the request. Just keep in mind that after declining your first request you wont earn any points until you accept a request.

How long should I wait for my passenger to show up before I can leave?

As your passenger is constantly getting notifications of your whereabouts, they should be waiting for you at the pickup location when you arrive. However as soon as you arrive to the pickup location a countdown is initiated, and the passenger needs to be ready within 90 seconds. After 90 seconds you can press the no-show button in the app and can leave without picking up the passenger while still receiving payment for the ride.

Can I chat with my passengers to let them know I’m on my way?

No, this is all taken care of by Passenger! You will be able to completely focus on driving and we will inform your passengers when you are nearby.

You earn up to 18.50 kr for every Swedish mile/10km when you have passengers in your car. The money will automatically be collected to your in-app wallet and can be transferred to your account whenever you like.

Do I need to pay tax on what I earn from being a driver with Passenger?

No, that is the beauty of Passenger, no hassle, no fuss and no taxes! But be advised that income earned from use of this application may be taxable income in your country (if other than Sweden) and that special rules may apply if you commute to work and receive a tax deduction. Any potential needed tax declarations is the responsibility of the user. Passenger does not carry any responsibility in the regard as the transaction is between the concerned individuals.

How do I earn Leaf points?

You automatically earn points when you use Passenger as your everyday navigator: you earn 10 Leaf point for every kilometer driven using Passenger.
