What a standing ride is
A recurring reservation: same pickup, same days, same time, until you change it.
How it works
Dispatch puts the rides on the schedule weeks ahead, sends a reminder before each ride [CONFIRM], and adjusts automatically when a tracked flight moves.

|---|---|
| Weekly business travel | Sunday or Monday out; Thursday or Friday home |
| Recurring appointments | Same day and time each week |
| School runs | Weekday mornings and afternoons [CONFIRM policy for minors] |
