Safety · Riders and captains

Safety isn't a feature. It's the whole ride.

Here's everything we do before, during and after every hop.

The Clean Lid kit · exploded view
Clean Lid

Safe, from the lid down.

Three things come with every Hop and Spark, before you've even sat down.

  1. 01

    ISI-marked pillion helmet

    On every Hop and Spark, tested to IS 4151. Not a cap with a chin strap.

  2. 02

    A sealed hygiene cap

    Fresh for every ride. You tear it open, you wear it, you keep it.

  3. 03

    A Grip Strap to hold

    Because 'hold my shoulder' isn't a safety feature.

How we check: captains take a helmet selfie at the start of every shift. No selfie, no rides.

Fare Lock

The fare on the screen. Every single time.

Your price is final before you book, and your captain keeps 100% of it, so nobody needs to haggle. If anyone asks for more, here's what happens.

  1. STEP 1

    Report in one tap

    Captain asked for more? Tap it on the trip screen. No forms, no phone queue.

  2. STEP 2

    Kicks refund, instantly

    The difference lands in your Kicks the moment you report.

  3. STEP 3

    Or rupees, in minutes

    Prefer real money? We refund it to your UPI in minutes.

  4. STEP 4

    Repeat it, and it stops

    Repeat reports mean retraining for the captain. Then suspension.

Guardrail

Safety tools, built into every ride.

One tap away from the moment you're matched, and never buried in a menu.

  • SOS

    One slide, and our safety team calls you. Your live location goes with it.

  • Tag Along

    Family sees your ride live from a link until you're dropped. No app needed.

  • Route Watch

    An unplanned stop or a detour? We check in: “All good?” One tap says you're fine.

  • Trusted contacts

    Pick the people who hear from us first when you send an SOS.

  • Masked calls

    You and your captain call through Hoppr. Neither of you sees the other's number.

  • Demo number

    24×7 safety line

    1800-000-4677

    A demo number for this concept. Hoppr isn't a real service, so this line doesn't ring anywhere.

Verified captains

Checked before their first ride. Rated after every one.

Four checks before a captain's first ride, and a rating on every ride after.

  1. 01

    Police verification

    Every captain, before their first ride.

  2. 02

    DL and RC checks

    Driving licence and vehicle registration, checked and kept current.

  3. 03

    Selfie liveness

    A live selfie matches the captain to their ID, so the face you see is the face on the bike.

  4. 04

    Road Ready training

    5 modules plus the full induction per national guidelines, before going online.

  5. 05

    Ongoing ratings

    Every ride is rated both ways, so the standard doesn't slip after day one.

For captains

Safe for captains too.

Safe to refuse: captains can decline unsafe or intoxicated riders with no penalty. Captain Line calls back in 90 seconds.*

Safe to refuse

“Rider seems unsafe? End this pickup. No penalty, no questions.”
