Global Rideshare Leader inDrive Expands Florida Operations with Launch in Tallahassee

Expansion to the state's capital follows the one-year anniversary of inDrive's U.S. debut and launch in South Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, inDrive, a ride-sharing service and global mobility platform, announced its expansion in Florida naming Tallahassee as its second U.S. market. Most known for its unique bid-based business model, inDrive brings freedom of choice and fairness to users, allowing passengers and drivers to negotiate and agree on the price of each ride. Following the company's U.S. debut in South Florida last July, inDrive celebrates more than 240 million downloads in 46 countries around the world and is quickly expanding to cities across America.

"inDrive's overwhelming success and widespread adoption in South Florida made expansion to the state's capital a natural next step," said Adam Warner, Head of US Operations. "Since launch, we've seen tremendous growth in the Miami area with a 340% increase of driver sign ups and 44% passengers using the app since last year. We're confident that the addition of Tallahassee will allow inDrive's loyal user and driver base to grow, especially amongst the city's vibrant student community. Whether it's a trip to Campbell Stadium or a ride into town, we believe our bidding model and reliable transportation will strongly resonate with locals and visitors alike."

inDrive has completely revolutionized the ride-sharing industry by introducing transparency and fairness between rider and driver and is currently the 2nd most downloaded ride-hailing application and 4th most downloaded travel application globally. Outside of benefits for consumers, inDrive's model increases a driver's earning potential by allowing them to only accept trips and fares they chose. Globally, inDrive charges an operational fee of 19.7%, which is less than average competitor's commission. In Tallahassee, inDrive will maintain a minimum ride price to ensure drivers are compensated fairly, while passengers benefit from savings on longer trips.
