Who can become a Rodshare driver in Delhi NCR?
Rodshare is a cost-sharing platform, not a commercial taxi service — so the bar to get started is lower than a professional driving job, but a few basics apply.
- 18 years or older, with a valid Indian driving licence for your vehicle class
- Own or regularly drive a private car — hatchback, sedan, or SUV
- No commercial or taxi permit required, since Rodshare rides are private cost-sharing on trips you're already making, not commercial transport
- Based in or regularly driving through Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, or another NCR town
- Willing to complete a one-time KYC before your first ride goes live
Documents required for Rodshare driver KYC
Every Rodshare driver — in Delhi NCR or anywhere else in India — completes the same three-part KYC before their profile can post a ride:
- Government photo ID — Aadhaar card, passport, or equivalent
- A valid driving licence for your vehicle class
- A live selfie taken inside the app at the time of verification (not an uploaded photo) — this is matched against your ID to confirm you're a real, present person
- Vehicle details — make, model, colour, and registration number, added as a separate step after KYC
Step-by-step: the Rodshare driver registration process
The whole process takes about 5 minutes of active input.
- Download the Rodshare app (Android) or go to rodshare.com and sign up with your phone number — OTP verified in under a minute
- Complete KYC: upload your government photo ID and driving licence, then take a live selfie in the app
- Add your vehicle — make, model, colour, and registration number
- Rodshare's team reviews your documents — usually within a few hours, typically same-day and almost always inside 24 hours
- Once approved, a verified shield badge appears on your profile — you can now post your first ride
Typical fares on Delhi NCR's busiest carpool routes
Fares are auto-calculated from route distance and vehicle type — you can't set a price above Rodshare's suggested range, which keeps things fair for riders and predictable for you. Here's what recent listings typically look like on the corridors with the most rider demand.
| Route | Distance | Typical fare/seat |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi → Gurugram | 30 km | ₹100–₹250 |
| Delhi → Noida | 23 km | ₹80–₹150 |
| Delhi → Faridabad | 30 km | ₹80–₹200 |
| Delhi → Ghaziabad | 20 km | ₹80–₹180 |
| Delhi → Jaipur | 280 km | ₹600–₹1,200 |
| Delhi → Chandigarh | 250 km | ₹600–₹1,100 |
| Delhi → Manali | 540 km | ₹1,200–₹2,000 |
Vehicle requirements — what counts, and what doesn't
Any private hatchback, sedan, or SUV registered in your name (or one you have regular authorized access to) is eligible. Because Rodshare rides are private cost-sharing between people already travelling the same route, no commercial or yellow-plate permit is needed — the same distinction that makes carpooling legal across India without a taxi licence.
Tips to get your first booking faster
A complete profile gets noticed faster than a bare one.
- Add a clear profile photo — a real face gets noticeably more join requests than a blank avatar
- Post recurring rides if you drive the same NCR commute daily (e.g. Gurugram to Delhi) — riders can book a regular seat with you
- Keep your departure time accurate and update it if plans change — reliability builds your rating fast
- Respond quickly to booking requests and in-app messages
- Start with high-demand corridors — Delhi–Gurugram, Delhi–Noida, and Delhi–Jaipur consistently have the most riders searching
