Flywheel is a modern taxi-hailing platform designed to connect passengers with professional, licensed taxi drivers through its app. It offers a seamless way for users to request on-demand rides or pay for street-hail taxis without cash. Flywheel primarily operates in major U.S. cities like San Francisco, Houston, and Washington, D.C., giving traditional taxi services a technology boost to compete with ridesharing companies. With a focus on efficiency and reliability, Flywheel helps passengers find rides quickly while supporting drivers with more ride opportunities through its app. It provides extensive driver resources to improve customer service and business growth for taxi operators.
To work with Flywheel, drivers must be licensed taxi operators with access to vehicles that meet local regulatory requirements. Applicants must pass all necessary background checks, maintain valid taxi permits, and ensure their vehicles are inspected and in compliance with local safety standards. Drivers are required to install and use the Flywheel Driver app to manage trips and payments digitally. In addition to onboarding support, Flywheel offers continuous driver training and 24/7 customer assistance, helping drivers maximize their performance and income.
