Whether you are too busy (or too, ah, incapacitated) to get a drive home, RideCharge want to take you home. RideCharge allows you to schedule pick ups, pay for them, and even keep online receipts all from a mobile phone. Available rides come in taxi, Sedans, or even shuttles for when you’re out with a group. Think of it as a personal chauffer on your Windows Mobile phone.
RideCharge is designed for the business travelers who are always in meetings and don’t have time to worry about getting home. Any Windows Mobile device can schedule a ride within second and pay via phone. One great feature is the ability to alert you via email or text when you ride is near.
I wanted to give it a go so I registered online and entered my card info. From there I set up where I wanted to go and where I was coming from on my mobile device. This was done with my Treo 750 but unfortunately they said they weren’t in my current area at. Darn! I was so expecting these guys to take me to and from the party. Now I have to find a designated driver.
Thanks for the post Nick! This is Keith from RideCharge. I manage the dev team. Sorry we aren't in your city yet. We are adding about 4 cities a month, so stay tuned!
We are considering adding the ability to register from the application. Nick, did you find that going to our website to register was a pain vs being able to do it right from the application? I guess giving users both options would solve the problem!
