Why college students are overpaying for rides (and how we're fixing it)

I ran the numbers on what the average college student spends on rideshares per month.


If you take just 3-4 Uber rides a week around campus — groceries, work, late-night library runs — you're spending $80-120/month. And that's before surge pricing hits on a Friday night.


The problem isn't that rides are expensive. It's that these apps weren't designed for short campus routes. You're subsidizing someone's 45-minute airport ride with your 5-minute trip to the grocery store.


DriveHop is different. We connect student riders with student drivers, campus-to-campus. Flat monthly rate. No surge. No guessing.


For $19.99/month you get unlimited rides around campus and town. Drivers are verified students earning on their own schedule. Everyone wins.


We're starting small — one campus at a time. If you're tired of watching your bank account drain from $8 Uber rides to Walmart, this is for you.
