How it works
Five steps. No app. No surprises.
From your first message to the moment you're back at your door, here's exactly what happens when you book with SDM.
The five steps of an SDM ride
You message us
One WhatsApp message is enough: the date, how many of you, what you feel like. No app to install, no account to create.
We build the evening with you
Restaurant, bar, rooftop, club: we propose a programme and book each stop with our partners. You approve, we lock it in.
We confirm the fixed price
You get the exact price in writing before you commit to anything. It won't change, whatever the evening throws at us.
The van arrives, you get in
The driver we announced is the driver who shows up. Check the plate, get in. Cold water, chargers and the camera are waiting on board.
You get home well
Dropped as close to your door as we can get, before 5 a.m. We check everyone made it home. That is the whole promise.
Step 4, for real
By the time the door opens, everything is ready.
Cold water in the cup holder, charger plugged in, air conditioning set. Your driver greets you by name. He knows who you are, just as you know who he is.
And compared with a street taxi or InDrive?
Each has its place. Ours is the ride where you don't want to leave anything to chance.
| Street taxi | InDrive | SDM | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | On the meter, or haggled at the kerb | Bidding, varies with demand | Fixed, confirmed in writing before departure |
| Driver | Unknown | Thin profile, light vetting | Named: photo, plate and rating sent in advance |
| Availability at night | Hit and miss after midnight | Depends who's online | Booked ahead, every night until 5 a.m. |
| Vehicle | Varies | Varies | Recent Mercedes Viano, inspected, 4 to 8 seats |
| If something goes wrong | Nobody to call | Support via a form | A person on WhatsApp, and the ride is logged |
