Before a single Glide driver ever accepts a trip, they pass our rigorous 5-layer screening process — background check, identity verification, MVR report, vehicle inspection, and AI face match. No shortcuts.
No driver goes live until every one of these steps passes. Zero exceptions — ever.
We run a nationwide criminal history search covering felony and misdemeanor records, sex offender registry, and global watchlists. Any disqualifying record — automatic rejection.
Drivers upload a government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport). Our AI reads and verifies the document authenticity, checks expiry, and validates against their application data.
We pull a full driving history report — DUIs, major violations, license suspensions, and at-fault accidents. Drivers with serious violations are permanently disqualified.
Drivers submit a live selfie that our AI compares against their government ID photo in real time. This prevents identity fraud and ensures the driver using the app is who they claim to be.
Every application is reviewed by our Trust & Safety team before approval. Borderline cases are escalated. Only clean passes on all 5 layers result in an active driver account.
Every active Glide driver is automatically re-screened every 6 months. Any new criminal conviction or license suspension results in immediate deactivation — no manual review required.
Both riders and drivers rate each other after every trip. Drivers who fall below our minimum rating threshold are automatically suspended pending review.
Before going online each day, drivers complete a selfie check. Our AI verifies it matches the approved profile photo — preventing account sharing.
Riders can report any concern during or after a trip. All reports go directly to our Trust & Safety team — reviewed within 24 hours, every time.
Any confirmed safety violation results in permanent deactivation — no appeals. Your safety is non-negotiable and we treat it that way.
Every Glide driver has passed our rigorous 5-layer verification. Book your first ride with total confidence.
