Common rider questions

Quick answers to the things people ask most.

Are MindRide drivers therapists?
No. MindRide drivers are certified Mental Health Advocates trained to hold space and listen actively. They are not licensed clinicians and do not provide therapy, diagnosis, or treatment.
How is MindRide different from a standard rideshare?
We're much more than a rideshare. Standard rideshare drivers are not trained for emotional conversations and may not feel safe to open up to. MindRide drivers are certified Mental Health Advocates, specifically trained to hold space, support emotionally, and respect what you share, every ride, every time.
Can I just have a quiet ride?
Absolutely. You choose the session type. If you want silence, your driver will respect that. If you want to talk, vent, or just have someone present, that is what you pick.
Is MindRide covered by insurance?
Not yet. MindRide is launching as an out-of-pocket service. We are actively pursuing partnerships with health plans and benefits providers to expand coverage over time.
Where is MindRide available?
We are launching in select cities first. Join the waitlist below and we will notify you when MindRide arrives in your area.
