Questions drivers actually ask.

Is driving with Wave a guaranteed income source?

No. Wave does not guarantee any minimum rides, hours, or earnings. Acceptance is subject to background check clearance. This is independent contractor work.

What's the background check and how much does it cost?

A multi-state BGC plus motor vehicle review, billed at cost as $99 of your $199 signup total. Most applicants clear in 3–5 business days.

When does the monthly membership start charging?

Your $29.99/month begins when you complete your first trip — not when you apply and not when your background check clears. If you get certified but never drive, you are never charged the monthly fee.

Do I need my own vehicle and insurance?

Yes — you drive under your own LLC or as an IC with your own vehicle, commercial insurance, and registration. Wave provides the platform, not the vehicle.

When does my membership activate?

On BGC pass. Your Wave Certified profile publishes to the directory and you receive your Blue Check. Leads begin routing based on your domain and location.

Can I drive on other platforms too?

Yes. Wave is a network membership, not exclusivity. Drive however you want — Wave exists alongside whatever else you're running.

What happens if I cancel?

You can cancel the monthly membership anytime; your directory listing and Blue Check remain until the end of your billing period. The one-time membership and background-check fees are not prorated or refunded.
