The HomeZone is the area where you can start and end a trip. You can see the HomeZone boundaries in the app. We have HomeZones in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle.
Gigs must begin and end trips in their original HomeZone. You will be charged a fee if you take a Gig from a HomeZone and end that trip in a different HomeZone. Gig has special agreements with different cities around parking, be sure you familiarize with the limitations of the city you’re ending your trip in. Never park in a no parking zone, handicap spot, and be sure there isn’t street sweeping within 12 hours of parking.
You can take a Gig anywhere within the Contiguous United States (excluding Illinois and Texas) as long as your trip ends back in the HomeZone, but our vehicles are not allowed to leave the country at any point. If you want to make a stop without ending your trip, turn the car off and lock it through the app. Do not choose “End trip.” Unlock it when you return.
