Hyke-jacking is when a passenger unintentionally gets into the wrong Hitchhyke car—this often happens in crowded areas like movie theaters or events.

How to Prevent Hyke-Jacking

To avoid picking up the wrong passenger, follow these steps:

1. Verify the Ride Code
   • Each ride generates a unique ride code, which is provided only to the passenger.
   • The passenger must give the correct ride code to the driver before the ride can begin.
   • The trip will not start without the correct code, ensuring nearly zero chance of the wrong person taking the ride.
2. Confirm the Passenger’s Name Before They Get in the Car
   • Instead of asking, “Are you ____?”, say “What’s your name?”
   • Make sure their answer matches the name displayed in your app.
3. Ensure They Requested a Ride
   • If a rider enters your car but has no ride request, politely ask them to request a Hitchhyke ride of their own.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a safe and smooth experience for both yourself and your passengers.
