The Basics

RideConnect is a smartphone application that works on iPhones and most Android based phones.

To make sure that RideConnect works properly on your phone, you should apply all the latest system updates that are available for your phone.

Before you watch our tutorial videos, you’ll need a current browser on your phone or computer, such as Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

Terms of Service

When you create a RideConnect profile, you agree to comply with all anti-spam regulations and RideConnect's Terms Of Service. Be mindful of these guidelines as you’re getting started:

• RideConnect does not maintain your social network. The inclusion or exclusion of people into your social network is entirely controlled by you. When you add people to your Facebook profile, or save someone's number into your contact list on your phone, they become available to share rides with so long as they have also saved your number into their contact list.
