The health and safety of the is our priority. With the evolving situation around COVID-19, we want to make sure Echo drivers and passengers know the best ways to help protect themselves and others when sharing the ride. We’re actively monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and are continually working to help keep those who rely on our services healthy and safe.
Help protect yourself and others. No mask. No ride.We all play a role in helping keep each other safe. That’s why as part of our Limousine Safety Standard, riders and drivers are required to wear a face cover or mask. Passengers should sit in the back seat. No shared rides. Now, as cities begin to reopen and people start moving again, Echo is proceeding with caution and safety top of mind. We will all have a role to play to help each other stay healthy when traveling. If a driver shows up without a mask on, the passenger can cancel the trip without penalty and report the issue to us.
