Meet Omni: A Simpler Way to Book a Ride

Booking a ride should be easy. Too often, it isn't.

You open an app and the price has changed. You get in a car and don't know much about who's driving. And the people behind the wheel give up a big share of every fare to an app they have no say in. We think it can be simpler than that.

What Omni is

Omni is a ride-booking platform. We connect riders with independent drivers who hold their own transportation permits. You book in the app, see what the trip will cost before you confirm, and ride with a driver who is licensed to carry passengers in their own right.

We're a technology company, not a carrier. We don't own vehicles and we don't employ drivers. Each driver runs their own business under their own permit and insurance. Our job is to build good software that brings the two sides together.

What we believe

Three ideas guide everything we build.

• You should know what you'll pay. Fares are metered by the time and distance of your trip, so you pay for the ride you take. They never surge. Riders also pay a small flat service fee, and you see it before you confirm.
• You should know who's driving. Every driver holds their own permit, passes a background check before their first trip, and is checked again every year.
• Drivers should keep most of what they earn. Omni charges drivers a 15% technology fee. They keep the other 85%, plus all of every cancellation fee and rider bonus.

Who we are

We're building for people who drive for a living and for the riders who count on them. Local transportation works best when drivers are respected and riders know what to expect.

Where we are today

We're getting ready to launch, and we're starting with drivers so there's someone ready when the first rides are booked. This is just the beginning.

If you'd like to be part of it from the start, you can download the Omni app or apply to drive.
