Adding an Additional Driver

Every person who will drive must be invited, verified, and approved for that trip before pickup.

Prelaunch: Live guest bookings are not open yet. This article describes the additional-driver flow currently built for launch.

Add a driver

  1. Open an eligible requested, approved, or booked trip from Trips.
  2. Open Drivers.
  3. Enter the driver's email address and send the invitation.
  4. The driver accepts using the same email address and completes their own license and trip-eligibility checks.
  5. Wait until the roster shows Approved to drive.

The current web form uses email only; it does not invite by name, phone number, or a shared verification completed by the primary guest.

Limits and timing

  • A trip can have up to two additional drivers.
  • Driver management closes when the trip begins.
  • Before the start time, the primary guest can correct a pending invitation email, resend it after the cooldown, or remove a driver.
  • There is no current mid-trip add or removal flow. If someone is not approved before pickup, they must not drive.
  • There is no separate additional-driver add-on fee in the current flow.

Verification

An invited person must use their own Afto access and pass the license, identity, age, and vehicle eligibility rules that apply to the trip. Verification complete means Afto is still completing the trip eligibility check; it is not the same as Approved to drive.

Drivers ages 18–20 remain subject to Afto Clear and vehicle-class restrictions. Adding a driver does not create protection or insurance rights beyond the terms attached to the booking.
