Real trips from one Wellington rideshare driver's evening, July 2026. Platform figures are the driver's actual payouts from trip receipts (including one peak-priced trip). Wheee figures are the same distance and time priced by our live fare engine, with the driver keeping 100% (founding) or 90% (standard). Fares vary by route and traffic; individual earnings depend on trips taken.
Founding drivers pay 0% through 31 December 2026 — then a flat 10%, for good. No surge cuts, no shifting percentages. What the ride earns is what you take home.
- →Your rate locks when you accept a ride. Accept a trip during the founding period and you keep 0% on it — even if the trip happens after the period ends.
- →Nothing is skimmed from your fare. No platform fee comes out of what you earn — your fare is yours, in full.
