HOW DRIVERS GET PAID ON HMU

Welcome to HMU ATL. We're Atlanta-based and built this for Atlanta drivers. Here's how the whole ride works, start to finish.

🔗
STEP 01

Promote Your Link

Share your personal HMU page

Every driver gets a unique link — atl.hmucashride.com/d/YourHandle. Drop it in your bio, Facebook groups, group chats, anywhere. Riders tap your link to book directly.

💡 Use TikTok or VideoLeap to make a 15-second intro video. Drivers with videos get 3x more bookings.
🎬
STEP 02

Upload Your Video

Show riders who you are

Record a short intro — who you are, what areas you cover, your vibe. This builds trust before riders even book. No script needed, just be you.

💡 Keep it 5-10 seconds. Show your face. Mention your areas.
📲
STEP 03

Rider Books You

You get notified instantly

When a rider taps your link and sends a booking request, you get an SMS and in-app notification. You see their name, pickup area, and the price they agreed to.

💡 Turn on notifications so you never miss a booking.
🔒
STEP 04

Payment Is Confirmed

Money held before you drive

When the rider taps Pull Up, their payment is held in escrow. You don't leave the house until their money is locked in. No more ride scammers.

💡 The hold amount includes the ride price + any add-on reserve.
🚗
STEP 05

Tap OTW — Head to Pickup

GPS tracking starts

Tap OTW (On The Way) and head to the rider. They can see your live location on the map. When you arrive, tap HERE.

💡 If rider doesn't show within the wait window, you can pull off and keep a no-show fee.
✅
STEP 06

Rider Confirms — Ride Active

Payment captured, ride starts

The rider taps BET (heading to your car). Payment is captured at this moment — not at the end. Your earnings are locked in. Drive safe.

💡 This is when HMU deducts the platform fee based on your daily earnings tier.
🛒
STEP 07

Add-Ons During the Ride

Extra stops, snacks, extras

If you offer add-on services (extra stops, wait time, etc), the rider can add them during the ride. Each add-on is confirmed and charged separately from the base fare.

💡 Set up your Service Menu in your profile to offer add-ons.
🏁
STEP 08

End Ride — You're Done

Dispute window opens

When you drop off the rider, tap End Ride. A short dispute window opens — the rider has a few minutes to flag any issues. If all clear, your payment is finalized.

💡 Both you and the rider rate each other after the ride.
💰
STEP 09

Cash Out Your Earnings

Instant or standard payout

Go to Cashout, pick your amount with the slider, choose Instant or Standard payout, and tap Cash Out. HMU First members get free instant payouts. Free tier pays $1 or 1%.

💡 Your first payout may take 1-2 days while Stripe verifies your account. We'll text you when it's ready.
