UZURV Review

What is UZURV?

The original concept behind UZURV was a reservation matchmaking service built on top of Uber, but after Uber yanked access to its scheduling tool away from UZURV last year, the Richmond-based ride-sharing startup built its own backend software and became a TNC itself, establishing its independence as a pioneer of a lucrative niche in the future of transportation.

How does UZURV work?

UZURV partners with community organizations to provide transportation for those who need it most, particularly seniors and people with special needs. While UZURV enables riders to get to jobs quickly and on time, it also helps to solve the major transportation challenge of getting people to necessary medical appointments.

“Drivers vary from retired school teachers, EMTs, retirees, and nurses,” said Trish Fitzpatrick, VP of corporate outreach.

Once a driver is booked, the passenger is contacted to confirm the ride, and then contacted again to let the passenger know that the driver is en route. Drivers park, and then go directly to the door of the passenger, assisting from doorstep to car.

Conclusion

Just sign-up and apply to be a driver. You can drive wherever, whenever you want for as long or as little as you want, pending conditional hourly restrictions. We even met a driver who picked us up once. We asked him how often he drove. He said that he just turns it on (the app that waits for a pickup) whenever he has a couple of hours to kill, and it has worked well for him to redeem his time and make some good money on the side.
