Local crew gigs — deliver, clean, swap, get paid

ReefRide Pros are the on-island crew that keep the marketplace moving. Hosts post a gig — delivery to a hotel, a between-trip cleaning, a key swap, a quick rescue — and any verified Pro nearby can claim it from their phone. Cash hits your account weekly.

How a Pro shift works

  1. 1
    Apply + get verified
    Sign up with Apple, Google, or email. Verify your driver's license through Stripe Identity. Pass a quick background check. Most Pros are verified within 48 hours.
  2. 2
    Set your zones + availability
    Pick the islands + zones you'll work (e.g. Maui West, Oahu South Shore). Toggle availability on / off in the app. You only see jobs in zones you've opted into.
  3. 3
    Browse open gigs
    Open jobs in your zones show up in real-time: gig type (delivery, cleaning, swap, rescue), pay, ETA window, location. Claim any that fit your schedule.
  4. 4
    Run the gig
    Tap Start when you're on the way. The host + guest see your name, photo, and ETA. Step-by-step checklist in the app — photos at start + end, key handoff, quality checks. Tap Complete when done.
  5. 5
    Get paid
    Each completed gig settles to your Stripe balance. Weekly payouts every Tuesday for the prior week's completed gigs.

Gig types + typical pay

  • Delivery: drop a host's car at a hotel, Airbnb, or the airport. Per-mile + base fare.
  • Pickup return: pick up a returning car from a guest drop-off and bring it back to the host's spot.
  • Quick clean: between-trip vacuum / wipe-down / windows. Flat fee per gig.
  • Detail clean: full interior + exterior detailing, ~2 hours. Higher flat fee.
  • Key swap / lockbox reset: quick on-site fix. Flat fee.
  • Rescue: roadside assistance handoff for a guest in a bind. Bonus pay for fast response.

Why hosts use Pros

Pros let car hosts scale beyond what they can personally handle. A host with three cars can't be in three places at once when three guests land at three different hours — but a Pro can. The marketplace is what turns a side-income car listing into something that runs without the host being on call.

That dynamic is why Pro shifts pay reliably: every gig is attached to a real, paid booking. The host already collected payment from the guest; the Pro fee is part of the trip's economics from the start.

Frequently asked

Is this a W-2 job or a 1099 gig?

1099. You're an independent contractor — pick your own hours, claim what you want. ReefRide handles the platform; you handle the work. Year-end 1099-K is generated automatically when you cross the IRS threshold.

What if I claim a gig and then can't make it?

Release it back into the pool from the gig detail screen. Try to do it as early as possible — repeated last-minute releases hurt your acceptance score, which gates you out of higher-paying gigs over time.

Do I use my own car?

For deliveries, you typically drive the host's car (the one being delivered) one-way and use a rideshare or your own car back — both legs are factored into the pay. For cleanings and swaps, you arrive at the host's lot in your own vehicle.

What if a gig goes wrong — damage during delivery?

ReefRide carries platform-level coverage on Pro-driven legs. Report incidents in the app immediately; they're handled the same way as guest-side incidents — you don't pay out of pocket for issues the protection plan covers.

How fast does a typical Pro get paid?

Gigs you complete Monday–Sunday pay out the following Tuesday via Stripe Connect. Stripe transfers to your bank in 1–2 business days from there.

Can I do this part-time?

Yes — most Pros do. Toggle availability on when you want gigs, off when you don't. The app only shows you open gigs while you're on; you're never under any obligation to claim.
