- 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 costs $39.99 once at signup. The fee is non-refundable once the check is submitted for processing. Most applicants clear in 3–5 business days.
- When do I pay?
- Pay once at signup for the background check. There is no membership fee or recurring charge.
- 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?
- Activation requires background check clearance and application approval. After approval, your profile can appear in the directory. Work is not guaranteed.
- 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?
- There is no recurring membership payment to cancel. The background check fee is non-refundable once the check is submitted for processing.
