Benefits

The Independent Drivers Guild's mission is to improve working conditions for rideshare drivers nationwide. While our main focus is campaigning for systemic change, we also provide our members with benefits to help them live better right now.

Below is our current list of offerings for IDG members. Benefits vary by state, so please check your local IDG chapter website for more information on what is available to you.
Benefits
The IDG has advocated on behalf of drivers in New York State to get them access to benefits through The Black Car Fund.
Deactivation Support

If you have been deactivated or if a ride-share service has
restricted when and where you can drive as a result of an allegation that you did something
wrong, the IDG can help you file a deactivation appeal.
Click here on the website, we will ask you to provide
information about your situation so that we can begin to get you back to work.
