GetRide was founded by Jason Diaz, a licensed New York City taxi driver.

For the last 18 years, Jason has dedicated his life to improving the taxi industry.

In 2003, Jason founded TaxiPass to bring easy, driver friendly credit card acceptance to taxi drivers.  TaxiPass has enabled over 25k taxi drivers in 10k cities and is now the largest network of taxi/limo drivers in the United States.  With 2,000 redemption centers across the country, GetRide can

For the last year, Jason has been testing, and working on GetRide to prepare for its national rollout.  The response from both drivers and passengers has been tremendous.

In the future, everyone will use their smart phone to book, track and pay for their ride.  GetRide is excited to allow any driver to have the latest technology and take advantage of this huge opportunity.
