Tips For Riding Smart with Zoom Zoom 

  • Verify your ride by making sure the license plate number, driver information, and car make and model match what you see in the app.

  • Ask the driver to say who they are picking up. If they don’t say your name, don’t get into the car. 

  • Share your location and route with a friend or loved one from within the Zoom Zoom app so they can follow your ride in real-time. 
  • Follow the Zoom Zoom vehicle on GPS via the app.
  • Need help? Feel free to call or text the Zoom Zoom customer support team at (647) 490-1285—they’re here to assist!
