Sawary works because of trust. These guidelines exist to make sure every rider and every driver has a safe, respectful, and predictable experience. Please read them — by using Sawary, you agree to follow them.

1. Treat each other with respect

Sawary is built for people who will likely be riding with each other regularly — neighbours, colleagues, students on the same route. That makes basic courtesy not just nice to have, but the foundation of the whole platform.

Do

  • Greet your driver or rider when you meet
  • Be polite if someone makes a small mistake
  • Listen to music on headphones rather than speakers
  • Keep conversations comfortable for everyone
  • Accept "no" gracefully — for a stop, a request, a conversation topic

Don't

  • Make personal, religious, ethnic, or political remarks
  • Comment on someone's appearance, accent, or background
  • Insist on conversation the other person doesn't want
  • Record audio or video of other users without consent

2. Be on time

Every minute a driver waits at a pickup is a minute added to everyone's commute. Every minute a rider keeps a driver waiting is a minute taken from the driver's day.

3. No smoking, vaping, or alcohol

No smoking, vaping, or consumption of alcohol inside the vehicle, at any point during the ride. This is non-negotiable. If a rider needs to smoke, ask the driver to pull over at a safe spot and step out — and only if the driver agrees.

4. No harassment or discrimination

Sawary has zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination, or abuse of any kind — by riders, drivers, or through the in-app chat. This includes, but is not limited to:

Violations result in immediate account suspension, and where appropriate, we report to law enforcement.

5. The female-only filter is not optional

If a rider selects the female-only filter, that means the ride is for verified female riders, with verified female drivers. Drivers who accept a female-only ride are confirming they are female and that their vehicle is exclusively for that booking's riders. Riders in a female-only ride must be female.

If a driver accepts a female-only ride and is not female, the rider should refuse to board, cancel the booking, and report the driver immediately through the app.

6. Use the boarding OTP — every time

The boarding OTP is there to make sure the right person gets into the right vehicle. Drivers: ask to see the OTP before letting a rider enter. Riders: have the OTP screen ready in the app. Skipping the OTP check is a safety violation.

7. Don't damage the vehicle, don't bring trouble

8. How to report a problem

If something goes wrong — harassment, a safety incident, a no-show, a vehicle issue, anything — report it through the app:

  1. Open the ride in your ride history
  2. Tap "Report a problem"
  3. Choose the category and add details

For an in-progress safety issue, tap the SOS button. This shares your live location and ride details with your nominated emergency contacts and notifies our safety team.

You can also report a user outside of an active ride by visiting their profile and tapping "Report".

9. What we do about violations

Reports are reviewed by our trust and safety team. We aim to acknowledge every report within 24 hours, and to resolve it as quickly as the situation requires.

Depending on the severity, our response may be:

For low-severity issues (a small lateness, a one-time miscommunication), we usually start with a warning. For serious safety violations (assault, threats, fraud, identity misrepresentation), we suspend immediately and may involve the police.

10. Account review and appeals

If your account is suspended or banned, you will receive an email explaining why. If you believe the action was a mistake, you can appeal by replying to that email within 14 days. Appeals are reviewed by a senior team member who was not involved in the original decision.

11. Help us improve

These guidelines aren't perfect. If you think something is missing, unclear, or unfair, email us at haseebleoo@gmail.com. We read every suggestion.
