How HUM Works
You already have everything it takes. Here's exactly how HUM turns the riders you drive today into clients who are yours to keep.
Currently active in California, Arizona, Idaho, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia.
The idea in 30 seconds
Until now, saying yes meant going off-app: uninsured, and in many places against local rules. HUM is the legal, insured way to say yes. You subscribe, log private rides in the app, set your own rate, and keep every dollar of it. No commission, ever.
Four steps
Pick the plan that matches your vehicle (Sedan, XL, Lux, or Lux XL), download the HUM Driver app, and complete a quick enrollment including a standard background check. Under 10 minutes start to finish.
Some of your riders already ask to book you directly. You know the ones. Those are your first clients, and now you can finally say yes. From there you grow the way any business does: let people know you're available as a private driver, hand out your card, and let word spread. That's how your book of business starts.
Start the trip in the HUM app. The moment you do, HUM's commercial TNC policy activates, and you're covered for that trip. Your rider pays you directly, however you've agreed.
No commission. No split. No algorithm deciding what your time is worth. You set the rate, and the full fare and every tip go straight to you. Your only cost is your flat monthly subscription.
Why it's legal and covered
HUM is a registered Transportation Network Company in California, Arizona, Idaho, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia, the same regulatory framework as Uber and Lyft. Every trip logged in the app is treated the same way under the law: insured, tracked, compliant. Your personal auto policy covers you off the clock, and HUM's commercial policy covers you the moment you log a ride. No gray area.
What it costs vs. doing it yourself
Going independent on your own means an LLC, a vehicle-for-hire permit (a TCP in California), and a full commercial policy billed around the clock whether you do one private ride a day or ten. HUM gives you insured private rides on a flat monthly subscription, covered for the periods you're actually driving, with no commercial policy of your own to buy.
