Getting assistance for your WAV trip
Although you can still call Support at any time, you may also call your WAV driver directly for assistance before and during pickup. After requesting your ride, tap Call driver and follow the guided prompts to connect.
Drivers can assist you in entering and exiting the vehicle, securing your chair and person, and driving you to your destination. However, please note that drivers can’t assist you for extended periods outside the vehicle (for example, entering a hospital with you and signing you in for an appointment).
