Riding with Wāyu

A car you booked, at a price you agreed.

Wāyu is not built for wanting a car in four minutes. It is built for the person who has to be somewhere at eight every weekday, and whose real job in a ride app is arranging a week rather than hailing a car.

Booking

What you agree to, and when.

Ninety days of notice, or five minutes

Book now or book a Tuesday in three months. The whole product is built for the second one, which is what lets the first one be a promise rather than a hope.

The whole price, before you confirm

The fare, the platform fee and the ride insurance, each on its own line, with the total underneath. The fee line shows even when it is zero, so you can see what you are not paying.

Up to five stops

Added, removed and reordered per row, each one priced and shown before you book. The driver sees them on the card before they take the job, not after.

Four cars, one price list

Wāyu, XL for six, Assist for extra time and a hand, and Executive. Every one priced from the same published zone table, multiplied and published.

On the day

What happens between booking and arriving.

A four digit code at the kerb

Your driver reads it back before the ride starts. Only your app can show it, so a code somebody could look up would prove nothing and this one is never sent to them.

Share the ride on a link

Anybody can open it with no app and no account: the car on the map, the route and the arrival. Stop sharing and the link stops working immediately.

The driver's record, or nothing

Promises kept, shown as a count until there is enough of it to be a rate honestly. A new driver gets silence rather than a number invented to fill the card.

Change the time, free

Your driver gets first refusal at the new one. Cancelling shows you the real number before you confirm it, and inside two hours half the fare goes to the driver who held the slot.

Membership

One axis, and it is not a discount.

Every tier removes the platform fee completely. What changes between them is how many rides a month you can schedule ahead, because scheduling is the thing that costs us something to guarantee.

Afterwards

What you are left holding.

A receipt that names every line

The same money story as the booking screen, told once more after the fact, so the number that left your account is one you have already seen twice.

Ask for that driver again

Offered at four stars and up, in the moment you actually feel it. Rides you book later reach them before anybody else sees them.

A tip that is entirely theirs

Nothing pre-selected and nothing suggested by us as a percentage. All of it reaches the driver, like the fare.

Your history, as a file

Every ride you have taken, exportable as a spreadsheet, without asking us and without waiting. A company that means what it says about the fare should not make the record of it hard to get.

The app opens before you have an account.

The map, the real destinations and the real prices are all there before anybody asks for a phone number. Signing up happens at the first booking, which is the first moment it buys you anything at all. Putting the price behind a sign up would hide the one argument this company has.

Free while we are starting.

No card, nothing taken, nothing to cancel. Join now and you keep the founding price for as long as you keep riding.
