Lost Item Feature!
Empower’s new “Lost Item” feature allows you to quickly let your driver know you left something in their car and the best way they can contact you.
To let your driver know you left something behind, open your “Ride History” from the main menu in the app. Then select the ride in which you left something behind. Tap “Lost an Item” and fill out the requested information to notify your driver that you left something behind.

Get Ride Credit!
Did you know that you get ride credit for referring new riders and drivers to the Empower platform? To refer a rider or driver, open your Empower app and select “Refer a friend” or “Refer a driver” to find your promo code. Share your promo code on social media, or send to friends and family via text or chat!
Request favorite and same-gender drivers!
You can request favorite or same-gender drivers by toggling on the “favorite” or “same-gender” filters on the ride request screen.
