Find out how much more you'd make with us.
We cap our commission at 15%. You keep 85% of every fare plus 100% of your tips. Plug in last year's numbers and we'll show you the difference.
Your last year, by the numbers
Drive for what you're worth.
15% lifetime commission cap, in writing. 85% of every fare goes to you, plus 100% of your tips. Other ride share apps take anywhere from 40% to 70% of the rider fee once booking fees, service fees, and surge cuts stack up. We don't.
In the contract
The 85/15 split isn't a promo rate or a launch bonus. It's a written, lifetime term. Driver #1 and driver #10,000 get identical math.
Impact at our cost
2% of every ride goes to local nonprofits, paid from 4TPGO's profit, never from your earnings or your rider's fare.
Busier nights
Our Around Town feed points riders at restaurants, concerts, and events, then books the ride. More reasons to go out means more trips for you.
You take home 85% of the surge price with 4TPGO.
Other ride share apps show the rider a 2x or 3x multiplier, pay you a flat bonus, and keep the gap. We don't have a bonus. Your 85% applies to the whole surged fare, and the rider sees the multiplier before they book. Which means we can charge riders less than they do and still pay you more.
The rider pays $10 less. You take home $7 to $15 more. Our surge is always shown to the rider before booking and never applied during a declared emergency. Other ride share app figures are estimates: a ~50% effective take plus the flat surge bonuses drivers typically report. 4TPGO figures are after insurance (modeled at $3 per ride pending our quote), SF city fees, and card processing, then 85% to you.

Everything a ride should be.
Honest, upfront fares
The price you see is the price you pay, with every line explained on your receipt: fare, tip, commission, and your donation. No opaque math, ever.
2% to your cause
Pick a local nonprofit in the app and 2% of every ride goes to them, funded from our commission, never from your fare or your driver's pay.
Around Town discovery
Restaurants, concerts, free community events, attractions, pulled from more local sources than any other app, updated all day long.
Drivers who stay
Our drivers keep 85% of every fare, the best deal in rideshare. Happier drivers, better rides. It's not complicated.
Book the whole night
Menus, reservations, tickets, and artist previews on every card. Plan dinner and the show in one place, then ride to both.
Day & night mode
An app that's easy on the eyes at noon and at midnight, because your plans don't stop when the sun goes down.
Your driver takes home 85% of the surge price with 4TPGO.
Other ride share apps show you a 2x or 3x multiplier, pay the driver a small flat bonus, and keep the gap. On 4TPGO, 85% of every surge dollar goes to your driver, so we don't need to surge as hard to get drivers on the road. You see the multiplier before you book. No surprises on the receipt.
You pay $10 less. Your driver takes home $7 to $15 more. Surge is always shown before you book and never applied during a declared emergency. Other ride share app figures are estimates: a ~50% effective take plus the flat surge bonuses drivers typically report. 4TPGO figures are after insurance (modeled at $3 per ride pending our quote), SF city fees, and card processing, then 85% to the driver.

Get notified →This is a revolution.
Rideshare was supposed to set working people free. Instead, the apps got rich and the people doing the driving got squeezed: opaque fees, shrinking pay, algorithms built to take as much as the driver will tolerate. We think technology should serve the people who power it. So we built the company backwards from that belief.
We do all of this while plugging you into the San Francisco that's being built right now. The artisans and the pop ups. The art shows and the maker spaces. The volunteer shifts, the new music, the new chefs, the new rooms nobody's written about yet. A new San Francisco, and a way to actually get there.
Fairness is the product
Not a promo. Not a marketing season. 85% of every fare goes to the driver, written into every contract, for life. We keep just 15%, and that never changes. The math is fixed, so the trust never has to be earned twice.
Work should pay a living
A person who drives full-time deserves an actual living, not gig scraps. Our drivers keep 85% of every fare and 100% of tips. Same rides, same hours, $15,000 to $20,000 more a year.
Money stays in town
On every single ride, 2% comes out of our profit and goes to a local nonprofit. Around Town sends riders to local venues, not just chains. The whole loop feeds the community it runs in.
One $20 ride. Who keeps what.
- Driver $9
- The app keeps $6.37
- Commercial ride insurance $3.00
- SF city fees $0.75
- Card processing $0.88
- Driver $13
- 4TPGO $2
- Local nonprofit $0.30
- Commercial ride insurance $3.00
- SF city fees $0.75
- Card processing $0.88
Other apps advertise about a 25% cut, but with booking fees, service fees, and surge cuts the real take is 40% to 70% of the fare (Drivers United, NY TLC studies, independent reporting). Tips not included; drivers keep 100% of tips everywhere.
Where you come in.
Here's the part most people miss: riders decide which world gets built. Every time you open a rideshare app, you're casting a vote for how the people who move your city get treated. Same route, same price, but one vote pays a driver scraps, and the other pays them a living and sends 2% to the food bank down the street.
You don't have to march for this one. You don't have to donate. You just have to take the ride you were already going to take, with the company that treats your neighbor like a person. That's how the world you want to live in actually gets built: one fair ride at a time.
Ride like it matters. Because it does.
Launching in Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay Area. Be part of it from day one.
Join the revolution →The city, in one tab. And the ride to get there.
Every other rideshare app opens to a blank map and waits for you to type an address. 4TPGO opens to what's happening around you right now: the taqueria that just opened, the show tonight, the free concert on the beach, the volunteer shift on Saturday. See something you like, buy the ticket or book the table right from the card, tap once, and your ride is on the way.
Around Town follows your location. Lake Tahoe today, San Francisco tomorrow, and it pulls from more local sources than any other app, updated all day long.
Test out our interactive simulator below.
This is the real Around Town feed, pulled live from the same server the app uses. Tap a category, open a card, book it, and ride there.
- Live feed. Same data the app shows, refreshed as you tap. Switch between Today and Upcoming.
- Real cards. Hours, menus, tickets, reservations, artist previews. The buttons go where they go in the app.
- Real fares. Tap Ride there and the quote uses our actual rate card for that city.
- The split, every time. The receipt shows the driver's 85%, our 13%, and the 2% to the cause you pick.
Sample listings to show the format. Promoted spots sit at the top of the feed with the gold frame, the gold tag, and your price or special wrapped in gold. Riders tap once to book and once to ride. Promote your business →
Fares shown are the ride fare before pass-through fees (card processing and government fees, charged at cost and itemized at checkout in the app). The simulator does not book a real ride.
What the tabs cover
Eleven categories, one feed. Here is what lives under each one.
Anything
The whole city at once. Everything below, ranked by what's closest and what's happening soonest.
Food & Drinks
What's open right now: hours, menus, reservations. Neighborhood taquerias, food trucks, weekend pop ups, new chefs, cocktail bars, and the steakhouse worth dressing up for. Small and family-owned spots get the same billing as the big names.
Music
Arena acts and casino headliners, sure, but also the free concert on the beach, the Tuesday open mic, and the band playing the back room tonight. Buy tickets without leaving the card.
Sports
Pro games, college games, pickup leagues, and the race you can still register for. Today, or upcoming this week.
Attractions
Museums, parks, piers, overlooks, the beach, the lake. The places you'd take a visitor, and the ones you keep meaning to see yourself.
Events
Farmers markets, street fairs, festivals, pop ups, town halls. If it has a date and a crowd, it's in here.
Shows
Theater, comedy, drag, dance, cabaret. Big stages and 40-seat rooms nobody's written about yet. Tickets are purchased right in the app.
Volunteer & Get Involved
Charity races, food bank shifts, cleanups, community meetings. Showing up for the place you live, sitting in the same feed as dinner and a show.
Movies & Films
Showtimes near you, plus screenings, festivals, and the one-night-only revival at the independent theater.
Art Shows
Gallery openings, maker spaces, studio walks, murals, and the small art show that's up for one weekend in somebody's garage. Independent artists and pop up shows, not just the museums.
Drops & Releases
Limited runs, sneaker and merch drops, book launches, brewery releases, and the new menu that lands Friday.

Frequently asked.
Is the 15% commission cap really permanent?
Yes, for everyone. We don't change the commission. Ever. 15% is the rate for driver #1, driver #100, driver #10,000. It's written into the driver contract. No promo rates, no rate hikes for new cohorts, no asterisks. The model only works if drivers trust the math, and the math doesn't change.
How does the 2% nonprofit donation work?
Two percent of every fare is routed through a 501(c)(3) fiscal partner to vetted Bay Area nonprofits. It comes out of 4TPGO's profit, never from the driver's earnings or the rider's fare. Riders see the donation recipient on every receipt.
How much do other ride share apps actually take?
Anywhere from 40% to 70% of the rider fee, depending on the platform, the trip, and how surge fees, booking fees, and service fees stack up. The advertised commission rate is almost never the real take-rate.
Are 4TPGO drivers employees or contractors?
Independent contractors under California's Prop 22. Drivers keep flexibility while receiving earnings-floor guarantees, healthcare stipends, and occupational accident insurance.
Where can I ride today?
Launch is targeted for the San Francisco Bay Area in 2026, starting with San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Sign up as a Founding Rider for early access in your neighborhood.
How is 4TPGO funded?
Bootstrapped with a non-dilutive capital stack: founder capital, an SBA microloan, and a Regulation Crowdfunding round planned for later this year. We're accountable to drivers and riders, not growth-at-all-costs investors.
