Frequently asked questions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Driver Levels
How do I advance to the next level?

Advancement is based on your performance over the previous 30 days. The system automatically evaluates your metrics at the end of each 30-day period and upgrades your level if you've met all requirements. There's no application process—just drive, maintain your rating, and you'll advance automatically.

If I reach a higher level, can I be downgraded?

Yes. Your level is reviewed every 30 days based on your recent performance. If you no longer meet all requirements for your current level, you may be moved to a lower level. However, you can always work your way back up!

How many rides do I need to complete to reach Silver level?

Silver level requires completing at least 30 rides within a 30-day period, maintaining a 4.5+ rating, being active for 10+ days, and keeping your cancellation rate below 15%.

What counts as an "active day"?

An active day is any day when you're online in the driver app for at least 2 hours total (not necessarily consecutive).

Do I have to maintain a minimum acceptance rate?

No, HEVO doesn't penalize you for declining ride requests. We believe in giving drivers the freedom to choose which rides they accept.

What happens to my level if I take time off?

If you take time off from driving, your level may be adjusted at your next 30-day review based on your activity during that period. When you return, you'll have the opportunity to build back to your previous level.

Can I see my progress toward the next level?

Yes! Your driver dashboard shows your current metrics and progress toward the next level requirements in real-time.

How is the 0% commission offer for new drivers applied?

New drivers automatically receive 0% commission on their first 10 rides, regardless of fare amount. There's no minimum requirement—just complete the rides and keep 100% (minus payment processing fees).

What if I drive both a hybrid and an EV vehicle?

If you're approved to drive both vehicle types, you'll receive the appropriate commission rate for each ride based on the vehicle used for that specific trip.
