How Vessel works.

01
A rider calls Vessel.

They tell us their trip details and we turn it into a text. No more calls blowing up your phone — just one clean notification the moment a ride is ready to claim.

02
You get a text.

Every ride request goes out to our network of local drivers at the same time. You see exactly what you need to make a decision — nothing more. Reply Y to claim it. First to confirm gets the ride. Once you win the ride, all you need to do is call the rider back!
