Founding drivers get perks that no future driver will ever receive. These 50 spots are the most valuable positions in Cruze - claimed first-come as drivers are approved at launch.
Founder Benefits
Four exclusive perks that kick in the moment you're approved - some permanent, some front-loaded to reward you early.
The first 20 drivers approved in a market lock in a permanent 78% pay rate for as long as they drive on Cruze. This rate never changes, never expires, and no future driver can earn it.
First 20 drivers onlyEvery one of the 50 founding drivers starts with an 85% pay rate during their first 45 days on the platform. That's the highest rate available - designed to reward you for taking a chance on Cruze early.
All 50 founding driversA $25 Cruze platform credit is applied to your account the day you're approved. Use it however Cruze credits apply - it's our way of saying thanks for being part of the foundation.
All 50 founding driversYour driver profile permanently displays the Founder Badge and the FD verification mark - Cruze's version of a blue check. Riders can see it. It never goes away. There's no way to earn it after launch.
All 50 founding driversHow It Works
Founding status is determined by approval order - the first 50 drivers fully approved in a market lock in their spot.
Sign up on our waitlist as a driver. Being on the waitlist puts you in line - the earlier you sign up, the earlier we reach you when we launch.
When Cruze launches in your area, you'll be invited to submit your driver's license, vehicle details, and pass a background check - all in-app.
The moment your application is fully approved, your spot in the founder count is locked. The first 50 approved in your market become Founding Drivers.
Pay Breakdown
The benefits layer on top of each other for the most impactful drivers who act fastest.
If you are among the first 20 approved drivers, you receive the 85% launch rate for your first 45 days, then your pay locks permanently at 78% - for life.
Drivers approved in spots 21-50 receive the 85% launch rate for the first 45 days, then move to the standard platform rate.
