Omni is a technology platform, not a transportation company. Drivers on Omni are independent business owners — Omni doesn't employ, schedule, or supervise them. We provide the booking technology and the marketing; drivers run their own business on their own terms.
Yes. Drivers hold an active California TCP (charter-party carrier) permit in their own name, plus commercial auto insurance meeting CPUC minimums filed against that permit and vehicle. Holding your own permit and policy is what makes you an independent operator, not a driver tied to a corporate fleet.
Omni charges a 20% technology fee on each completed trip — this covers access to the booking platform, payment processing, and matching technology. There's no flat deduction, no subscription, and no other platform charges. The remaining fare is paid directly to you, plus 100% of any tip or bonus.
Scheduled. Riders book ahead, so you know your trip details — pickup, destination, timing — before you accept.
The Coachella Valley corridor: Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Indio, Coachella, and Desert Hot Springs.
Yes, as long as it passes a vehicle inspection and meets our basic condition and age standards.
Yes. If you run a licensed ground transportation business — limousine service, black car, or chauffeur company — Omni supports fleet onboarding. Your company's TCP permit and commercial insurance already meet Omni's requirements. Each driver on your roster gets their own app login and accepts scheduled trips independently at the same flat per-trip fee as solo drivers. Contact us at support@rideomni.com to discuss fleet access.
Yes, with one important difference. Uber and Lyft carry insurance coverage at the platform level — individual drivers on those platforms don't need their own commercial policy. Omni requires each driver to submit a Certificate of Liability Insurance in their own name before their first trip. If you already have commercial auto insurance from driving black car, limo, or charter work, you're set. If you only carry personal auto insurance through Uber or Lyft, you'll need to obtain your own commercial policy before driving with Omni.
A Certificate of Liability Insurance is a standard document — typically an ACORD 25 form — issued by your insurance provider that confirms your commercial auto coverage is active. It shows your policy limits, effective dates, and the vehicles covered. Your insurance agent can generate this at no cost. This is what Omni requires at onboarding, not a personal insurance card or a declarations page.
