Using Yango Pro, every partner driver benefits from this arrangement too. The app overcomes the limitations of traditional ride-hailing, where you wait for a passenger and negotiate before the ride starts. See what advantages you can get when you contribute to urban mobility and how you can maximize them.

Even today, independent drivers still have the option to try to get the passengers the usual way: wait at ‘hot spots’ and wait for someone. But as a rider, this is not the most effective way to earn an income in Colombia anymore. Having the option to become a Yango partner delivers the following benefits:

• Transparent pricing. Even before the trip starts, you’ll already have an idea of how much you’ll make, which removes the stress of a low-baller passenger trying to negotiate after the fact.
• Higher level of security. Using the Yango Pro app, you can get emergency assistance if you feel there’s a threat. Our app also tracks your real-time location, which is a considerable deterrent against harmful behaviors.
• Potential to make more. Although there is an established base price, the rates are adjusted based on demand. The surge multiplier is applied to the normal cost of the trip, so you earn more when there are a lot of booking requests coming in.
• Less idle time between rides. Drivers, especially those in big cities in Colombia, don’t need to wait for a long time in between rides. Our app automatically connects you to a passenger near you, which effectively raises your calculated hourly rate because you’re always completing bookings.
• Bonus opportunities. We reward those who are very dedicated to earning their income in Colombia as independent drivers. Every week, you can get a bonus for completing a certain number of trips.

Although the trip’s distance still has a considerable effect, how much you take home per day may also be based on the following:

• The number of hours worked. More hours worked generally mean a higher payout at the end of the day because you’ll be able to complete more bookings.
• Vehicle’s service class. There are set minimum rates and inclusions depending on the six service classes offered in Colombia. The Motorcycle class is the cheapest, while EVs are the most expensive. However, consider that users may be more likely to pursue the most affordable option too.
• Current demand. The app implements a surge pricing that raises the rates by a specific multiplier that encourages drivers to fulfill the demand for rides.
• Service quality. If you deliver prompt and excellent service, the passenger may just leave you a tip.
• Number of rides completed per week. If you complete a certain number of trips, then you can receive a weekly bonus. For example, in Bogota, providing 125 visits per week means bonuses up to $870,000. Meanwhile, it’s 160 rides for as much as a $595,000 weekly bonus in Cali.
