Get a female driver
While women are capable of sexual assault just as men are, female riders may feel more comfortable with a female driver. Luckily, there are several companies that only hire female drivers. These include DriveHer, and SheSafe, among others. By using these companies instead of Uber or Lyft you are not only minimizing your chances of being the victim of sexual assault, but you are also supporting female drivers. Keep in mind many drivers for these companies are also looking out for their own safety, hoping to pick up female passengers instead of male passengers, so you help a woman make a living, while feeling safe, when you call one of these cars.
