Benefits

The Independent Drivers Guild's mission is to improve working conditions for rideshare drivers nationwide. While our main focus is campaigning for systemic change, we also provide our members with benefits to help them live better right now.

Below is our current list of offerings for IDG members. Benefits vary by state, so please check your local IDG chapter website for more information on what is available to you.

Free Flu Shots

Free Flu Shots

We can’t risk the flu taking us off the road this season, so we’re giving every IDG Member a free flu shot voucher. From now until February 28, 2024, drivers can redeem their free flu shot voucher at any Walgreens or Duane Reade location.

How does it work?

  • Check your email
Every IDG member has already received a free flu shot voucher in their email inbox. If you became an IDG member after October 10, 2023, please allow one (1) business day for your free flu shot voucher to be sent. If you still haven’t received it, please check your spam folder. 
  • Visit your local Walgreens or Duane Reade location
Find your local Walgreens or Duane Reade location here. Just show your free flu shot voucher and your ID to the pharmacist to get your free flu shot.

Benefits

Deactivation Support
Sometimes ride share services tell drivers that they cannot drive based on incorrect claims made by passengers. And sometimes drivers are rude to passengers and should get help, not lose their jobs. If you were deactivated from and think you deserve to be put back on tell us. We promise we will fight to get you back to work.

We will ask you to tell us when the ride-share service cut you off and why they said that they did it. Then we will go to work fighting to get you back on the platform. We cannot promise success, but we can promise we will fight.

Often we win. And sometimes we work with you and the company to reach a compromise, you go back with limited access at first, or you make a deal with the company that you have to take a customer service class. Our goal is to get you back working.

We can primarily help drivers in New Jersey and New York State but want to hear from everyone.

If you have been deactivated or if a ride-share service has restricted when and where you can drive as a result of an allegation that you did something wrong. 

Click here on the website, we will ask you to provide information about your situation so that we can begin to get you back to work.

And, if you have already submitted a case: 

Click here to check on the status. We will work with the ride-share company and you to get you back to work either by getting them to drop their case, agreeing to a “probation” or agree that you can return to work if you agree to take a class with IDG.
