Airport rides you book before you pack.

SkyRide only does scheduled airport trips. Set the pickup when you book the flight, see the fare before you agree to it, and let a verified driver claim the run days in advance.

How it works

Planned trips, not a scramble for a car.

A SkyRide trip is arranged ahead of time and priced the moment it is created. Riders schedule it; drivers claim it out of a shared pool. Nothing about the airport run is left to whoever happens to be nearby at 4am.

For riders

  1. 01

    Set the flight, not the moment

    Pick your airport, your address and the pickup window. Schedule it the day you book the flight — SkyRide only does planned trips, so there is nothing to refresh at 4am.

  2. 02

    See the fare before you commit

    The route is priced on the server the instant you schedule. Distance, time and a capped traffic factor — the number you agree to is the number you pay.

  3. 03

    A driver claims it, then arrives

    Your trip enters the open pool and a verified driver claims it. You get the driver, the vehicle and live tracking as the pickup window opens.

For drivers

  1. 01

    Get verified once

    Licence, vehicle and safety checks live in the app. Clear them once and the airport pool opens up.

  2. 02

    Browse the open pool

    Every unclaimed airport trip, with distance, duration and payout shown before you commit. No blind pings, no accept-in-8-seconds roulette.

  3. 03

    Claim what fits your day

    Claims are atomic — one tap, one driver, no double-booking. Build tomorrow around the trips you actually want.

For riders

Know the time. Know the price. Then stop thinking about it.

The trip you booked on Sunday is the trip that shows up on Thursday, at the fare you already agreed to.

  • Scheduled, not summoned

    Every trip is booked ahead against a pickup window, so your ride is arranged long before the airport run starts.

  • Fare quoted upfront

    Pricing is computed server-side from the route. No post-trip recalculation, no surge multiplier appearing at checkout.

  • Live driver tracking

    Once a driver claims your trip you can follow the approach on the map, with status moving from assigned to in progress to completed.

  • Seats and child seats

    Declare passengers and child seats when you book, so the driver who claims the trip arrives with the right vehicle.

  • Edit while it is still yours

    Change timing or details up to the point the booking locks. The app is explicit about what can still move and what cannot.

  • Rate every trip

    Trip history and driver ratings stay in the app, so repeat airport runs get better instead of starting from zero.

For drivers

An open pool, not a dispatcher.

Every scheduled airport trip is visible with its distance, duration and payout. You pick what fits your day — and the claim is atomic, so a trip you take is a trip that is yours.

Apply to drive

  • Open ride pool

    No dispatcher deciding for you. Scheduled airport trips sit in a shared pool and you take the ones that fit.

  • Atomic claims

    The claim either succeeds or it does not. Two drivers can never end up assigned to the same trip.

  • Payout before you accept

    Distance, duration and fare are on the card. You decide with the full picture rather than after arrival.

  • Plan a week ahead

    Because every trip is scheduled, you can fill Thursday on Monday instead of waiting for demand to appear.

Pricing

The whole formula, in public.

Four numbers decide your fare, and none of them change after you book. The quote is computed on our servers when the trip is created — the app cannot talk you into a different price later.

Distance rate
$1.77 / mi

Charged on the routed distance, not the crow-flies distance.

Time rate
$0.35 / min

Estimated duration for the route at your pickup time.

Traffic factor
1.0–1.2×

Applies to the time component only, and is hard-capped. There is no unbounded surge.

Minimum fare
$8.00

The floor for very short runs.

LOCKED

Illustrative route. Your quote is calculated from the real routed distance and duration when you schedule.

Coverage

Two airports, done properly.

SkyRide covers the Puget Sound's two commercial fields. Narrow on purpose — an airport run is a different problem from a cross-town ride, and we would rather solve it well.

SEA

Seattle–Tacoma International

17801 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA 98158

All terminals, arrivals and departures.

PAE

Paine Field

3220 100th St SW, Everett, WA 98204

North-end pickups without the SEA drive.
