Driver FAQ

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 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.
