We're David and Kevin. We're building Cari, a new ride service, starting in LA.

Ride-hailing, frankly, sucks.

Rides keep getting more expensive. Drivers aren't seeing that money. And neither side gets a say in the price, or knows where the fare goes.

We think it should work differently.

  • You have a say. Riders can name their price and pick their driver by car, rating and distance. Drivers choose which rides to take, and can counter.
  • A smaller cut. We take less of each fare, so more goes to the driver. No surge pricing.
  • Complete transparency. Riders and drivers see where every cent goes.
  • All-electric from day one. Every Cari ride is in an EV.

A ride should feel fair to the person paying for it and the person driving it.
