Common questions

I cannot sign in or forgot my password

On the sign-in screen, choose “Forgot password?” and enter the email address for your account. Check your inbox and spam folder, then follow the reset link to choose a new password. If you previously signed in with Google, use the same email address to reset your password, then sign in with email and password.

If you still cannot sign in, email support from your account’s email address. Never send us your password, reset link, or verification code.

How do I join an event?

Open the invitation link shared by the organizer and follow the steps to join. Sign in or create an account if prompted. If the invitation no longer works, ask the organizer to check whether the event is still available and send you an invitation again.

How do I coordinate seats and rides?

Open your event’s Seats & Rides page to update your driving availability, available seats, and passenger arrangements. Check the current arrangements with your group before traveling. DriveAlong helps coordinate rides; participants provide and carry out the transportation themselves.

An event or my participation has disappeared

An event may have been deleted by its organizer or removed when the organizer deleted their account. Participation may also end because of account blocking. Check any notices in the app. If you believe something went wrong, contact support with the event name and an approximate time.

How do I report a problem or block someone?

Use “Report a problem” in the event and complete the required questions. You can also choose the blocking option when reporting a participant. To review or unblock accounts, open Settings → Blocked accounts. Unblocking does not automatically restore previous event participation.

You can also email support to report inappropriate content or behavior. Include only the details needed for us to investigate.

How do I delete data while keeping my account?

You can remove some DriveAlong data without deleting your account:

  • Saved passengers: open Settings → Edit profile, remove a passenger and save. This changes your saved passenger list; passenger records already added to individual events remain separate.
  • Event passenger records: open the event’s editing screen, remove your passenger from that event and save. Review any affected ride arrangements.
  • Events you created: open the event’s editing screen, choose Delete event and confirm. This permanently deletes the event and its associated participant, passenger and ride data for everyone. Your account remains active.
  • Events you joined: choose Leave event from the event’s editing screen and confirm. Your participant and passenger records in that event are removed; the event and other participants’ records remain. Event creators must delete their event instead of leaving it.

For other data-deletion requests, email support from the address linked to your account. Specify the data you want removed and state that you want to keep your account. We may verify ownership and explain any records that cannot be removed or must be retained. Never send a password or verification code.

Deleting a saved passenger does not erase independent event records. Deleting app data does not automatically remove calendar exports, delivered emails, external support correspondence or other users’ independent records. Backups and records retained for legal or security purposes follow the retention rules in our privacy policy. Do not use Delete account if you want to keep your account.

How do I delete my account?

Sign in, open Settings, choose “Delete account,” and confirm. Deletion removes your account, associated participant and passenger records, and events you created. Other participants lose access to those events and their ride arrangements.

If you cannot access your account, contact support from the email address associated with it. We may need to verify ownership before processing your request. See our privacy policy for information about retention required for legal or security purposes.

Tell us what happened

When contacting support, include your device, app version if available, the steps you took, and the error message. You may attach a screenshot after hiding private information. Do not send passwords, verification codes, or unnecessary passenger details.

DriveAlong support is not an emergency service. For an emergency, contact your local emergency services.
