New Rides runs on two apps built for each other: the Client app, to book a ride, and the Driver app, for those behind the wheel. Here's how each one works in detail — and why, if you're comparing private hire options, New Rides is the one to choose.
The Client app: booking has never been this simple
The Client app is designed to be used without instructions: booking a ride takes thirty seconds.
Book in seconds, with a guaranteed price
Enter your pickup and destination (or build a custom multi-stop excursion) and get a fixed price instantly, before you even confirm. No dynamic pricing that climbs with demand, no surprises at the end of the ride: the price you see is the price you pay.
Choose the category you need
City for everyday trips, Premium for extra comfort, Van for groups and extra luggage: the category is reflected in the price shown, with no hidden costs.
Pay in the app, get your invoice automatically
Payment happens securely right in the app (card, via Stripe), and the invoice is generated and emailed to you automatically — including for airport transfers and custom excursions.
Real discounts, not fake promotions
Sign up and get 5% off all rides in your first year, plus up to €200 a year for referring friends.
No app store, no updates to download
The app installs straight from the browser (Android and iOS) in one tap, no app store required: it stays up to date on its own and takes up almost no space.
The Driver app: clear earnings, transparent rides
On the other side, the Driver app is built to let drivers work well, with no surprises on what they earn.
Sign-up with document verification
Registration requires a valid PHV licence and the documents required by regulation: our team manually checks every application before activation, for everyone's safety.
Real-time requests, even with the screen off
Ride requests arrive as a push notification, even when the app isn't open: the driver instantly sees pickup, destination, requested category and estimated earnings before accepting.
100% of the fare, not a cut of it
Unlike many other platforms, the full fare goes to the driver through direct payment (Stripe Connect): no hidden commission taken off the top.
An earnings dashboard, always in view
A dedicated section shows today's, this week's, this month's and total earnings, with a ride history and a one-tap CSV export for bookkeeping.
Work in your own language
The app is available in multiple languages and lets drivers list which languages they speak, automatically matching them with clients who speak the same one.
Why choose New Rides over another app
There are already several private hire and ride-hailing apps out there. Here's what makes New Rides different, for riders and drivers alike.
- Fixed price, shown before you book. No dynamic pricing that climbs with demand: what you see is what you pay, every time.
- Only verified professional drivers. Every application is checked by hand by our team, not just by an algorithm.
- Drivers keep 100% of the fare. No hidden commission: a more sustainable service, with more motivated and available drivers.
- Automatic invoice for every ride. Useful for business travel that needs to be expensed without the hassle.
- Real loyalty discount and referral program. 5% off in year one, up to €200 a year for referring friends — not a one-off promo.
- A lightweight app, no store required. Installs in one tap from the browser, stays up to date, and takes up almost no space on your phone.
In a word: transparency. A clear price from the start for riders, and clear earnings down to the last cent for drivers. Download the Client app to book your first ride, or apply as a driver if you'd like to work with us.
