Why does my location ask for my credit card?

In some locations and destinations, riders may be required to pay a small fare. If you would like to request a ride in one of those locations, you must enter a valid payment method before making the request. Be sure to keep an eye out for promo codes, sponsored by our advertisers, that will allow you to ride free during their supported campaigns! Learn more

Do I have to tip drivers?

Gratuities for drivers are appreciated but never required and are completely at your discretion. In most markets, Circuit is free thanks to our sponsors on the interior and exterior of our cars. If you would like to show your appreciation to any of our sponsors, we recommend sending them a message on social media.

Do I have to use the app, or is there another way (what if I don’t have a smartphone)?

In some of our locations, call-in to ride service is available. In other locations, you may hail or flag down a car to ride with us, although the Driver must have a safe, accessible, and legal space to pull over and pick you up. App requests take priority over our flag down service and as such, riders inside the vehicle may request drivers not stop to pick up other passengers.

Can I schedule my ride in advance?

We love getting you where you need to go, but as an on-demand service, we do not currently book/schedule rides in advance. When you are ready to ride simply send us a request via the Circuit app or wave down a friendly driver!

I'm visiting from outside the USA, can I use Circuit service?

Can pets join the ride?

In some jurisdictions, only service animals are allowed to ride. Please speak with your driver when they arrive to confirm it is acceptable and remember to follow this pet etiquette:

-Pets are not allowed on seats
-Your pet must stay on your lap or on the floor between your legs at all times
-Pets must remain inside the vehicle at all times
