Rider reviews

"Hitch is a great supplement to any other rideshare app you might be using. My experience is you get between $22 and $25 an hour using Hitch. The mileage is usually much better as well since you're traveling on the highways so it saves gas."

Dan M

"I love Hitch. Longer rides better pay and paid rides back. What isn't to love. Also great support. They respond so quick and handle issues in a timely manner"

Kathy M

"Hitch is a great way to meet new people, and get paid for your time of driving a stranger to a city you might already be going too. They pay really good for the time spent, and the return is so worth the drive! Thank you, Hitch, for coming to Florida, and allowing me to drive for you. The only thing I'd say needs better attention, is the mapping. It glitches out. Confirming if a rider is picked up or dropped off, sometimes the app will log you out 25 times before you can confirm either or."

"Hitch is definitely the best rideshare app out there right now when it comes to long distance driving. Drivers are very professional and vetted unlike Uber and Lyft. Hitch is way more affordable than Uber and Lyft and all of your rides are private without having to worry about another passenger sitting right next to you. I would strongly recommend Hitch."
