Some CareDrivers find it helpful to find a set of back-to-back rides to earn more efficiently. This is a particularly effective strategy if you are having trouble finding rides close to where you live. 

If you find a nearby area has more available rides, you can claim and complete several rides in a row there. By stacking rides in this way you only have to make the longer commute once.

Expanding your search radius

If you are not seeing many rides located close by, you can expand the area you are searching. To adjust your search preferences, tap the search filters at the top of the screen.

in Commute, use the slider to increase the number of miles you're willing to drive from your home address. Alternately, you can change the Rides near option to a different address to search for rides in that area.

Finding rides that will work well together

You can use the cart feature to find a set of rides that work well together. Start by finding a ride that works for your schedule and that has other rides scheduled around the same time. Tap Add to cart.

You now have five minutes to find additional rides. Rides you add to your cart cannot be claimed by other CareDrivers, but you have not yet committed to claiming the ride. 

As you consider additional rides, you can see them placed on the map in relation to other rides in your cart:

You can also see the times of rides in your cart listed at the bottom of the ride details page.

Use this information to choose rides that you can complete efficiently. When you have decided which rides to claim, you can remove unwanted rides from your cart and claim the rides you want.
