- 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. Most applicants clear in 3–5 business days. Annual members have the BGC included; monthly members pay a separate $249 BGC fee before activation.
- 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?
- Monthly members can cancel anytime; directory listing and Blue Check remain until the end of your billing period. Annual members hold certification for the full 12 months — no prorated refund.
