If you’re spending some time on the road driving for a rideshare app, there’s a few accessories we can’t imagine leaving home without. Some will keep you comfortable, some will keep you safe, and some will get you the best tips possible. Stay tuned, and we’ll help you maximize that side hustle income! Seat Cushions If you’re spending hours on the road every single day, driving can get pretty uncomfortable. One of the most cost effective ways to remedy the discomfort of sitting for hours on end is by using a high quality seat cushion. We’ve got several options, but our top pick for rideshare drivers is the TYPE S Gel Seat and Lumbar Cushion Set with Comfort Gel Technology. It’s the only option that combines lumbar support for your back and a comfortable cooling gel seat for those long days in your car. Portable Jump Starter Time is money, and you don’t want to sit around waiting for roadside help when you could be on the road. If your battery dies and you don’t have a backup plan, that could be you. The TYPE S 12V 9.0L ProJump™ Battery Jump Starter with JumpGuide™ and 18,000 mAh Power Bank is super easy to use and charge. It also works perfectly as a power bank. Got a customer in need of a charge? Be their hero. Cell phones? No problem. Important business on their dead laptop? You’ve got them covered. Rear Seat Covers If there’s anything rideshare drivers can agree on needing, it’s seat covers for your rear seats. Look for ultra durable options that are rugged and waterproof, like the TYPE S Rear Bench Rugged Weave Seat Protector Built with Kevlar®. This super versatile seat cover will fit rear seats up to 54” wide, and will keep your seats in great shape with integrated water proofing and heat protection. You’ll get some peace of mind knowing that your riders are much less likely to damage your car - after all, it’s not just transportation - it’s your income! Dash Cams If you’re ever in an accident, dash cam footage can be invaluable. Did you know it could also protect you from would-be scammers and passengers who might be up to no good? The TYPE S 4K UHD Dash Cam includes integrated GPS tracking, so a passenger can’t say you didn’t show up (or that you left them somewhere they didn’t request). If you’re looking for something a bit more robust, the TYPE S 360° Smart HD Dash Cam with Live Stream was designed with rideshare drivers in mind. It’s great for keeping footage of your drive, as well as a record of what your passengers were doing when they were in your car. Backup Cameras Sometimes being a driver means getting yourself in and out of unfamiliar, crowded areas. You can make that a little easier by using a backup camera. You’ll be able to see what’s behind you (even when you’ve got three riders in the back seat, and a game just let out). With people and cars everywhere, that visibility is invaluable. Plus, your passengers will just think you’re a pro. We suggest the TYPE S Solar Powered Smart 1080p HD Backup Camera model for a simple, wireless install that never needs a charge. You don’t need to be a mechanic to get this one up and running. Thank us later. Party Lights (if that’s your scene) Just for fun! If your normal passengers are business travelers on the way to the airport, you have our permission to skip this addition to your car. If, on the other hand, you spend a lot of time picking up party-goers and nightclub aficionados in the wee hours of the morning, this one’s right up your alley. Help your passengers keep the party going all the way home with the TYPE S HyperBright™ Smart LED Interior Kit. Installation is easy - no wiring experience required! Once it’s set up, you can change the color on the fly, and even use the free app to make the lights dance with the music! You get to enjoy your drive, and watch the reviews and tips roll in - it’ll be worth the investment. Rideshare drivers deserve the best when it comes to accessories for their vehicles. If you have questions about any of the TYPE S products we offer, feel free to get in touch - we’re always happy to help. Call us at (866) 294-9244, or shoot us an email anytime.
