help Alto FAQ

Does Alto use gig drivers and drivers' personal cars?

No, Alto employs its drivers and operates a managed fleet rather than matching passengers with privately owned gig-driver vehicles. Its vehicles use consistent branding and are monitored through the company's operating system.

Can an Alto ride be booked without a membership?

Yes, riders can normally request individual trips through the Alto app without subscribing. A paid membership can provide benefits such as reduced fares or priority access, but pricing and benefits vary by market.
