"Working for Ryde has been one of the better decisions I've made regarding employment. They are a fantastic company to work for. They are fair, respectful, very approachable and care about their employees. I would give them five stars in taxi terms."

Eddie
Driver, Ryde

"I started working with Ryde from the very beginning, and the reasons I’ve stayed are simple: – Friendly colleagues – Flexible days, hours and holidays – Clean, comfortable, fully-electric cars – And last but certainly not least - meeting and chatting with our wonderful customers!"

Joanne
Driver, Ryde

"I enjoy working for a company where we are cleaner and greener"

Tommy
Driver, Ryde

"Ryde gave me the opportunity to learn new skills and change my profession late in life. Each day is different, sometimes quite exhilarating. Ryde gives me the freedom to make decisions and adapt, but support is always at hand - friendly, professional and prompt.”

Dean
Driver, Ryde

"I started working at Ryde right at the beginning, it has been a great experience for me and I’ve received a lot of support from the team, who are an incredible inspiration. I love the flexibility of the job, I like meeting new people and I get to drive around our beautiful island all day. I’ve never driven taxis before, so this was a great challenge for me and I’ve had a great experience at Ryde."
