Driver Guidelines
Driver's Guidelines
Introduction
These guidelines help maintain a safe and reliable transportation experience on the SXM Taxi platform.
Independent Drivers
Drivers operate as independent transportation providers and choose their own schedule, availability, and ride requests.
Accepting Rides
Drivers should accept rides they can complete reliably and communicate with riders when necessary.
Pickups
Drivers should arrive at the pickup location promptly and use the in-app chat if needed to locate the rider.
Airport Pickups
For rides at Princess Juliana International Airport, drivers should follow airport pickup procedures and coordinate with riders through the app.
Vehicle Standards
Vehicles should be clean, safe, and well maintained.
Safety & Conduct
Drivers must follow traffic laws, drive responsibly, and treat riders respectfully.
Favorite Driver Feature
Riders can favorite drivers in the app, increasing the chance of being matched again for future rides.
This helps drivers build repeat riders while keeping trips inside the platform.
Payments
Payments are processed through the app.
Drivers should avoid arranging rides outside the platform.
Platform Integrity
Drivers help maintain a reliable transportation network across Sint Maarten by providing professional and consistent service.
Cancellations Policy (Drivers)
Drivers are expected to avoid canceling rides under any circumstances once accepted.
- If the app is temporarily down, the ride should still proceed as planned. Do not cancel—complete the trip and contact support if needed afterward.
- Cancellations are only acceptable if the driver is unable to complete the ride due to a personal or emergency reason. In such cases, drivers must contact support immediately so we can assist and arrange coverage.
- Unjustified or excessive cancellations may result in restricted access or permanent removal from the platform.
- If a driver cancels a ride, they will not receive the $10 cancellation fee.
Respecting accepted rides ensures reliability for riders, protects your earnings, and strengthens the SXM Taxi network.
