Who This Is For
All Drive mate Hosts who receive earnings from completed trips, reimbursements, bonuses, and claims.
What’s Changing
Starting January 2025, Drive mate will move to monthly payouts for all eligible Host earnings. This replaces ad hoc or per-trip payouts.
First Monthly Payout:
January 2025 (covering earnings from December 2024)
Monthly Payout Schedule:
No later than the 9th business day of each month
What’s Included in Your Monthly Statement
Each month, you’ll receive a detailed, tax-compliant earnings statement. This will include:
Completed Trips: Dates, Guest names, and trip totals
Distance Charges: Earnings from per-kilometre rates
Fuel Reimbursements: Amounts reimbursed to you if applicable
Referral Bonuses: Any successful referral earnings
Damage Claims: Approved payouts from resolved damage cases
Other Earnings: Fees, incentives, or other applicable income
How to Access Your Statement
You can view your monthly earnings statement in two places:
In the Drive mate app under the “Insights” or “Earnings” tab
Sent to your registered email address as a PDF
Each statement can be used for:
Personal income tracking
Tax reporting and accounting
Verifying past trip or reimbursement activity
Why Monthly Payouts?
This change improves the experience for Hosts by providing:
Clarity: All earnings in one place
Consistency: Predictable, on-time payments
Simplicity: Less frequent tracking and follow-ups
Tax Readiness: Easier documentation for accounting
Important Dates
By the 9th business day of each month
(e.g., February payout = earnings from January)
