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.

Each ride request goes first to drivers who picked that town, then to all our local drivers if no one claims it — and never on a day you've told us you're off. You see exactly what you need to make a decision — nothing more. Each ride has a short code — reply with it to claim the ride. First to confirm gets it. Text RIDES anytime to see every open ride. Once you win the ride, all you need to do is call the rider back!

Can't make a ride you claimed? Call (574) 500-2223 and press 2 so we can send it to another driver. Please don't text CANCEL: that turns off all your ride texts. The $5 for the claimed ride still applies.
