If you're an owner or administrator and you also drive, you can absolutely set yourself up as a driver in Ride Sync. The one requirement is that each driver account needs its own unique email address. Your administrator login is already tied to your main email, so that same address can't be reused for a driver profile. This keeps the two roles separate so the system knows which notifications and assignments belong to which account.

You don't need a whole new inbox. Most email providers let you add a "+1" to your existing address, and everything still lands in your same inbox. For example, if your email is [email protected], you can use [email protected] for the driver account. Ride Sync treats it as a unique address, but you'll still receive every email in the inbox you already check.

Yes. This is a standard feature called "plus addressing," and it isn't Gmail-only. Outlook, Microsoft 365, iCloud, and most major providers support the plus version the same way ([email protected]). Yahoo uses a dash instead of a plus ([email protected]). A few corporate or older email systems don't support it, but the vast majority of everyday email accounts do.

If the plus or dash address bounces or won't save, simply use a separate email address for the driver account instead. A free Gmail or Outlook account works perfectly, and you can set that inbox up in a couple of minutes. Once you have the address ready, you'll be able to create the driver profile with it.

Once you've decided on the email address you'll use, you can add it as a driver, just like adding any other team member. Enter the unique email, fill in the driver details, and save. From there you can assign yourself to reservations and use all of Ride Sync's scheduling features. If you'd like a walkthrough, see our guide on how to add a driver to Ride Sync.
