About Tryp

Tryp is a rideshare company, similar to Uber and Lyft, that allows drivers to earn money on their own schedule. Unlike the leading rideshare companies, however, Tryp drivers keep 100% of ride fees, cancellation fees, costs, and commissions. Tryp is more like a subscription service. The rideshare company offers monthly subscriptions which place caps on the maximum number of rides they could complete. Subscription options start at $39.99 (which allows for a maximum of 50 rides per month); the highest subscription being $149.99 per month. Tryp also offers variety of attractive options that have caught the attention of drivers as well as riders that driver for and use other rideshare companies. Some of these include options to set/track earning goals, the ability to request rides from specific drivers, the option to use a one-time password to enter vehicles (for safety purposes), and rider rewards that deposit change into their accounts every time they share the app and help others get rides.

The Requirements to be a Tryp Driver

Like all other well-known rideshare companies, Tryp has a number of requirements that prospective drivers must meet prior to being allowed to drive for the company. These eligibility requirements include the following:

• Have a smart phone to be able to use the Tryp app as well as GPS services
• Be at least 21 years old
• Have a valid driver’s license
• Have proof of collision and liability insurance (at least minimum coverage)
• Pass a background check (no felonies or poor driving record)
• Have a 4-door vehicle that can fit at least 4 passengers (vehicle must not be too old)

If all eligibility requirements are met, drivers will be allowed to drive for the company and start earning money on as they provide passengers with rides.

Tryp’s Safety Recommendations

Unfortunately, safety has been an issue with a number of rideshare companies in the past. Tryp takes the safety of both their passengers and their drivers very seriously; therefore, it has made a number of important recommendations to promote safety.

Recommendations for drivers include the following:

• Keep an eye out for everyone else on the road especially during pick-ups and drop-offs
• Drop passengers off correctly in zones that are both safe and legal
• Encourage passengers to sit in the back seat both to promote professionalism and to allow passengers to exit from either side of the vehicle at drop-off
• Remind your passengers to wear their seat belts

Recommendations for passengers include the following:

• Be prepared for the ride by being familiar with where you are going
• Wait indoors for the ride, if possible, until receiving notification that the driver has arrived
• Confirm that the app matches the vehicle/driver that arrives
• Sit in the backseat if possible
• Always wear a seat belt
• Share Tryp ride status with friends or family
• Never give drivers your personal information

Although the rideshare company promotes the safety of their passengers and their drivers alike, many of these tips are disregarded and incidents occur – putting innocent people at risk of injury.

Possible Incidents that could Occur during a Tryp Ride

Any time that you enter a vehicle, you run the risk of being involved in a car accident. It doesn’t matter how safe you are driving or how safe your driver is driving – car accidents are always possible (considering that there are so many factors that could contribute to car accidents. Could you only suffer a car accident, however? Are Tryp incidents limited to car accidents?

Tryp incidents could include physical and sexual assault, for example. They could also include harassment. Regardless of the incident that you suffered related to a Tryp ride, it is possible that you were harmed in one way or another, and you should consider the possibility of taking legal action.

Common Injuries Associated with Tryp Accidents

If you were involved in a Tryp accident, you could suffer a number of injuries, which could include some of the following:

• Head injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures
• Sprains and strains
• Muscle damage
• Ligament damage
• Nerve damage
• Lacerations
• Bruises

Some of the injuries suffered could be so severe that victims unfortunately lose their lives. Those who survive these potentially devastating accidents can be permanently affected by their injuries.

Understanding Tryp’s Insurance Coverage

All rideshare companies acknowledge the risk of car accidents; therefore, most of them offer insurance coverage for their drivers and their passengers. Tryp offers insurance coverage based on three different periods.

Consider the following:

• Period 1 – a driver is waiting to be connected with a passenger. The driver is active and available to accept a ride but hasn’t accepted anything yet. An accident during this period (i.e. only the driver is in the car) is covered with a policy of $50,000 for death/injuries per person, $100,000 for death/injuries per incident, and up to $30,000 for property damage.
• Period 2 – a driver has accepted a passenger’s ride request and is driving towards the pick-up location (the driver is still the only party in the vehicle). An accident during this period will be covered by a $1,000,000 policy.
• Period 3 – a driver has picked up the passenger and headed towards the drop-off location. If accidents occur during this period, both drivers and passengers will be covered by the $1,000,000 policy.

Obviously, this insurance coverage does not apply when the driver is not active on the app. Drivers must have their own insurance policies. The coverage provided by Tryp is meant to be supplemental.

If you or a member of your family suffered any sort of harm in a Tryp accident, you might be eligible to benefit from this insurance policy. You should seek legal assistance to learn more about how Tryp’s policy could cover your accident.
