Finding your Fashionable Rider
NZFW will be a busy time for riders & drivers. You can make certain your rider finds you by ensuring you are driving your registered Ola vehicle, so that the rider can find you via your car registration.
If you need to change the car you will be driving, you can do this in your Ola driver app. Click HERE to learn how.
It is important to manage pick-ups & drop-offs in the designated areas only for the duration of the event. This ensures both your safety & risk, as well as that of your rider.
It is important to ensure you do not park, stop or stand in bus & taxi zones to avoid receiving a fine.
