Safety & Trust

Your parents deserve more than just a ride. They deserve someone trustworthy.

Trust is the entire product. Here is exactly what we check, what we promise, and what we will never do.

Identity verification

Every Buddy submits a government photo ID that we match against a live selfie, plus current and permanent address proof. No ID, no journeys.

Background verification

A licensed agency runs a police background check before a Buddy takes a single journey. Any adverse finding is a permanent disqualification.

Phone verification

Buddy numbers are OTP-verified and kept live on file, so you and our support team can always reach the person who is with your parents.

Ratings and reviews

Only families who completed a journey can review. A Buddy who falls below 4.7 is paused and retrained before taking further journeys.

Journey tracking

You follow the journey step by step — Buddy assigned, terminal reached, parents met, luggage collected, cab boarded, safely home.

Family notifications

Every status change reaches you on WhatsApp and SMS. You never have to ask 'where are they now?'

Emergency support

A 24×7 safety desk with an SOS button in the app. If you raise it, a real human calls you back within a minute.

Clear pricing, no hidden charges

You see the total before you confirm. No surge, no mystery line items, and free cancellation up to two hours before.

Insured, every single journey

A safety insurance component of ₹49 is built into every booking. It covers travel-related mishaps during the assisted journey up to ₹5,00,000, and there is nothing extra for you to buy or claim separately — our support desk files it with you.

GetMyBuddy is a travel-assistance and companionship service. It is not a medical, nursing or emergency medical service.

The Buddy code of conduct

  • A Buddy never handles your parents' money, cards or valuables.
  • A Buddy never takes an unplanned detour without informing the family.
  • A Buddy never offers medical advice or medication — this is not a medical service.
  • A Buddy speaks respectfully, unhurriedly and in the language your parents are comfortable with.
  • A Buddy stays until your parents are physically inside their destination.
