Cargo helps rideshare drivers earn up to $500 more monthly by distributing snacks, unique finds and daily essentials to passengers
Washington, D.C February __, 2018 Cargo, the leading in-car commerce platform for the rideshare economy, today announced their launch in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Passengers in Cargo-equipped rideshare cars will be able to order products like Cheez-Its, Starburst, and RXBARs from Cargos in-car display. Rideshare drivers using Cargo earn commission on every passenger transaction for free samples and retail items.
After successful launches in New York, Boston, Chicago, and Minneapolis, D.C. and Baltimore are the next steps in Cargos nationwide expansion plan for 2018. Cargos debut will allow local drivers to earn up to $500 more per month in commissions, referrals, and performance bonuses.
Products available through Cargo include buzzworthy items like hangover cures, trendy Korean face masks and all-natural protein bars, delighting passengers during an otherwise idle ride. For brands, Cargo is the only scalable, data-driven in-car solution for reaching Millennial and Generation Z audiences, who avidly use Uber and other rideshare services.
Cargo recently raised $5.5 million in venture funding to scale operations more rapidly across the U.S. The startup will reach more than 25 million passengers across 20,000 vehicles in 2018.
Our mission is to help drivers earn more by providing the best ride experience possible. For drivers, its an easy decision: Cargo costs nothing, we pre-pack each Cargo kit, ship replenishments to your home, deposit money directly into your bank account, and improve your ratings. For passengers, you never have to worry about your phone dying, riding hungover, or suffering through that snack-less midnight ride from the airport. Everything you need is a tap away on your iPhone, said Cargo CEO and Founder Jeffrey Cripe.
