For Riders

Madison's most
transparent rideshare

We built GoPilot because we were tired of surge pricing, opaque fees, and faceless corporations that don't know Capitol Square from Hilldale.

No surge pricing — What you see is what you pay, 24/7, every day of the year.
Local drivers — Madison natives who know every neighborhood, shortcut, and coffee shop.
Transparent pricing — Upfront fare estimates before you confirm. No hidden fees at arrival.
Community-first — A portion of every fare supports local Madison nonprofits and community initiatives.

Our Story

Built in Madison,
for Madison.

GoPilot started with a simple frustration: Madison deserved a rideshare that actually cared about this city. Not a national chain pouring profits out of state. Not surge pricing on game night. A local service built around the people who live here.

We're a team of Madison natives — former Uber and Lyft drivers, local business owners, and neighborhood advocates. We know the shortcuts, the coffee shops, the best State Street parking. And we know what it means to support local.

🏛️

Local Ownership

Every decision is made locally by people who live here. No distant headquarters, no corporate priorities.

🤝

Community First

We reinvest in Madison — through local partnerships, nonprofit support, and community events.

🔒

Radical Transparency

Our pricing, fees, and policies are open and honest. No hidden costs, no bait-and-switch.

🌱

Sustainability

We actively incentivize EV drivers and partner with local organizations to reduce our carbon footprint.
