Our Driver Safety & Conduct Policies
All HERWAY drivers must adhere to strict safety and conduct standards. Drivers have the right to cancel or refuse any trip if:
❌ Undisclosed Male Passengers
A male passenger boards who was not mentioned during booking. Drivers can cancel to maintain our women-focused service commitment.
❌ Passenger Intoxication
Passenger appears intoxicated, aggressive, or unable to communicate clearly.
❌ Inappropriate Behavior
Any harassment, disrespectful behavior, or discomfort for the driver or other passengers.
❌ Route Safety Concerns
The route or destination raises legitimate safety concerns for the driver.
❌ Undisclosed Passengers
More passengers or children than declared at booking, especially without car seats for children.
❌ Vehicle Damage Risk
Passenger appears to pose a risk of damage to the vehicle.
Important: Drivers are never obligated to complete a journey if they have safety concerns. Passenger safety is important, but driver safety is paramount and non-negotiable.
