"Ride Amigos is awesome. Before I found my amigo I either woke up at an exceedingly unreasonable hour so that I could walk to the subway or rode in a cab alone.  Once I found ride amigos, I was  connected me with someone who lives on my block, works in my building, and now we ride to work together. It makes the dowtown to midtown commute nearly non-existent. It takes about 8 minutes as opposed to an hour!"

"Was going to Go Green Expo in LA and noticed the link to RideAmigos. Within a few minutes, I had a ride to and from the event with two bright and witty gentlemen that live nearby. So simple to use as well. Why not ride with a few amigos, because it's all about the journey!!!"

"Last week I got matched up with a co-worker. I had always wanted to talk to her but never had a good reason to approach her. This was perfect. Now we split cabs three times a week and this weekend we're going out on our first date!"

Name: Lauren,    Age: 29,   Occupation: Doctor
"My name is Lauren and my normal commute took 55 minutes in the subway! After finding an Amigo online, my commute now takes only 12 minutes. No joke, I am totally less stressed and I even walk slower, for only $5 bucks a day. This site is genius!  Thanks RideAmigos!!!"

"As gasoline prices continue to rise, we need to move toward mass transit, rail, and electric-powered vehicles, and increase efficiency standards of gasoline-powered vehicles. While this transition is underway, we should support all means to increase efficient use of today's technology, and ride sharing is a great way to do it. Sierra Club NYC's report, "Sustainable Energy Independence for NYC," spells out why this transition is inevitable, and why it should be accelerated at maximum speed. Read it at www.beyondoilnyc.org . Use ride sharing services to slow global warming and reduce America's dependence on imported oil."

BE HONEST!  We are all Amigos here and Amigos don't lie to one another!  Post your real information.  NO PHONY POSTS!!  If we receive any complaints regarding a phony post, the person responsible will be denied future access to the website.

BE ON TIME!  RideAmigos.com is relying on you, the users, to be responsible.  That means showing up on time, no questions asked.  Whether you are going to work, an event, or the park, being late is NEVER excusable.

COMMUNICATE!  Once your Amigos are established, text message, call, email, or even blog with one another so that everyone is always in the loop.  If you have a day off, let everyone know.  If your flight is cancelled, let everyone know.  Its simple... just always let everyone know! 
For extra comfort, always CONFIRM.  That way there is never doubt between Amigos on where and when to be!

PLAN AHEAD!  Select a meeting place that works for your amigos.  Whether it is a street corner or a Starbucks, minimize confusion and get organized!

Q: How old do I have to be to qualify as an AMIGO?

A: All Amigos must be 18 and over - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Q: What if my Amigo does not show up, is late, or has no cash?

A: We urge all RideAmigos to bring enough money to cover the cost of the entire trip, just in case something does go wrong. In the event that an Amigo proves unreliable, please email customerservice@rideamigos.com with the name of said slacker and a brief description of your experience. This way, we can drop unreliable users from our database and/or take further necessary actions.
