5. Your Vehicle & Insurance (YOUR RESPONSIBILITY)

Insurance is to be liaised between you (the subcontractor) and the client directly. Angelift™ is just the technology platform.

6. Angelift™ Dual-Driver Operations

PRE-BOOKING ONLY — DUAL-DRIVER MODEL

Angelift operates a pre-booking only service (minimum 2 hours before pickup). There are no instant/on-demand bookings. Every trip involves up to two drivers working together:

Operational Requirements

Guardian Angel Routing

The Guardian Angel's navigation is managed by the platform:

Route Compliance & Safety Monitoring

You must follow the route provided by Angelift via the in-app navigation (Google Maps).

Angelift uses live GPS tracking and route monitoring to protect riders. During active trips, your location is continuously compared against the route provided to you. This applies to both the client trip and the Angel Driver return trip.

6A. Your Right to End a Trip

You reserve the right to end a trip at any time if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

Your safety is paramount. You may decline to start or choose to discontinue a trip at any point if you reasonably feel unsafe or uncomfortable. This may include but is not limited to situations involving:

Angelift fully supports drivers in exercising this right. Repeated or fraudulent misuse of this right (e.g., ending trips to avoid long-distance fares) may be investigated.

7. Assistance Animals — Legal Requirement (NSW)

8. Accidents, Fines & Claims (YOU PAY)

9. Fare Structure, Earnings & Commission

Fare Calculation

All fares are calculated automatically by the platform based on distance, rider-leg time, driver return distance, and applicable fees:

ComponentRateGoes To
Trip base (no free km; per-km on full rider leg)$49.00Split pool
Per km (rider leg)$2.50Core ride fare
Time charge (pickup to final drop-off only)$0.80/minSplit pool
Driver Return$1.50/kmSplit pool
Selected Sydney or Melbourne CBD pickups: Inner-City Access Fee$19.95Split pool
Angelift Service Fee$9.95Platform only
Passenger Levy$1.20Platform only
CTP Levy$0.10/kmPlatform only

Surge pricing multipliers may apply during peak demand periods.

Platform Fee & Driver Pool

The platform retains 30% commission on the split pool. The remaining 70% is the driver pool. The split pool includes base fare, distance, rider-leg time, driver return, Inner-City Access, wait time, and additional stops. Angelift Service Fee, Passenger Levy, and CTP go directly to the platform and are not included in the driver pool.

Selected Sydney or Melbourne CBD pickups may include an Inner-City Access Fee. This fee applies to pickups within 3km of the relevant service anchor (635 George Street, Haymarket for Sydney; 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 for Melbourne) due to parking and access restrictions and is included in the split pool.

Driver Earnings Split

Trip TypeAngel Driver (A)Guardian Angel (B)
Standard Trip (Dual Driver)45% of driver pool55% of driver pool
Multi-Stop Trip65% of driver pool35% of driver pool
Solo Trip (Initial)45% of driver poolN/A — held for return transport
Solo Trip (Fallback)45% + 60% of driver poolN/A — added to your earnings

The Guardian Angel receives a higher share on standard trips because they use their own vehicle and fuel. On multi-stop trips, the Angel Driver receives more because they handle all stops and the additional driving, while the Guardian Angel only drives the return leg.

Solo Trip Return Transport

If no Guardian Angel is available for your trip:

Tips

Rider promotions & account credits

From time to time, riders may receive promotions or account credits that reduce what they pay. Unless a specific campaign clearly states otherwise, Angelift typically funds these rider-facing amounts for the purpose of the core ride fare split and commission calculation, meaning your share of the driver pool is based on the underlying trip fare before the rider’s promotional discount (subject to the same platform-only fees and rules described above). Campaign terms may vary; check in-app notices for any offer that works differently.

Multi-Stop Extras

Cancellation Compensation

When a rider cancels, the cancellation fee is tiered based on how close to pickup time:

Time Before PickupRider Fee
2+ hoursFree (no fee)
1-2 hours$20
30-60 minutes$35
15-30 minutes$50
Under 15 minutes / no-show$69 (full base fare)

You receive 70% of the cancellation fee (30% to platform). The fee is split between all assigned drivers on the booking.

19. Pricing, Commission & Earnings Addendum

Commission & Earnings

Angelift charges a Services Fee (commission) of 30% on the trip fare for all standard dual-driver bookings. The Services Fee is subject to change at Angelift's discretion with 14 days written notice to active drivers.

The Angelift Services Fee (commission) does not apply to certain additional fees and levies payable by riders that Angelift is wholly entitled to, including: the Angelift Service & Booking Fee ($9.95), Passenger Levy ($1.20), Compulsory Third Party Insurance (CTP) levy ($0.10/km), Cancellation Fees, and any other statutory or platform fee imposed by Angelift from time to time. These amounts are retained by Angelift and are not included in the calculation of driver earnings.

Of the 70% driver share of the trip fare after platform fee extraction: Angel Driver (Driver A) receives 45% of the driver share and Guardian Angel (Driver B) receives 55% of the driver share. Angelift reserves the right to adjust these percentages with 14 days written notice to active drivers.

Pricing & Platform Changes

Angelift reserves the right to change the fare structure, base rates, surcharge amounts, commission percentage, driver earnings split, and any other component of the pricing model at any time. For changes that reduce driver earnings by more than 5%, Angelift will provide 14 days written notice via the driver app or registered email address.

Subcontractor Status & Earnings

Angelift does not guarantee any minimum number of bookings, trip frequency, or earnings. Driver earnings depend on trip volume, trip distance, time of day, and applicable surcharges. Past earnings are not indicative of future earnings.

Drivers operate as independent contractors, not employees of Angelift. Drivers are responsible for their own tax obligations including GST registration (if applicable), income tax, and superannuation. Angelift will provide earnings summaries via the driver app to assist with tax reporting.

All drivers must hold a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) and provide it to Angelift prior to activation. Drivers without a valid ABN may be subject to withholding tax deductions as required by the Australian Taxation Office.

General Pricing Changes

Angelift may introduce, modify, or remove any fee, levy, surcharge, or pricing component at any time. New or modified fees will be communicated via the Angelift app. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of any pricing change constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
