OMR Ride lets riders see their upcoming and past rides, follow their ride while it is on the way, call their driver, cancel rides and rate them. OMR Drive is the app OMR drivers use to carry out trips.
The apps are not for emergencies. In an emergency, dial 911.
-
Your OMR Ride account. OMR Ride is available to riders who have a record with us. You sign in with the phone number and date of birth on your record and a PIN you choose. Keep your PIN private: anyone with your phone and your PIN can see your rides. If you think someone else knows your PIN, change it in the app or call us to reset it.
-
Cancelling in the app. A ride you cancel in OMR Ride is cancelled with OMR and reported to the organization that arranged it. The cancellation rules in section 4 still apply. Rides can be cancelled in the app only before their pickup time, and some rides cannot be cancelled in the app at all; call us to cancel those.
-
Times and maps are estimates. Traffic and other trips can change arrival times, and the driver’s position on the map may lag behind.
-
Calling your driver. The call button is for coordinating your ride. Do not use it to harass a driver or for anything unrelated to your rides.
-
Ratings, comments and photos must be honest, respectful and lawful. Your profile photo must be a photo of you; the drivers of your trips see it.
-
Access. We may turn off app access to protect riders, drivers or our service, for example after misuse.
-
Deleting your account. You can delete your OMR Ride account at any time in the app; see our Privacy Policy for what is deleted and what we must keep.
-
OMR Drive is for OMR drivers only and is used under OMR’s driver policies. Follow traffic laws when using it in a vehicle, including Virginia’s hands-free driving law.
-
Availability. The apps are provided as they are and may sometimes be unavailable. We may require you to update an app to keep using it.
