About Round Up & Donate
Round Up & Donate lets you round up your ride fare and donate the difference to a worthy organisation.
For example: if your fare is $12.75, we'll round up to $13. The $0.25 difference goes to your chosen organisation.
Donations aren’t included in upfront prices. You'll see your donation on your ride receipt after your ride.
For rides in the US - If the organization you donate to qualifies for tax deductions, so will your donation.
