Keep your finger on the emergency button
Your phone likely has an emergency button you can call that will instantly connect you to 911. You can keep your finger hovering over this button for the duration of your ride. If at any point the driver does something that makes you uncomfortable, like goes down a strange road, goes off path, or won’t let you out of the car when you ask to get out, press the button. There are also apps you can download that will alert the authorities when you’re in distress, including ones that don’t even require you to press anything.
