Edward retired at the age 55 and moved to the Golden Isles of Georgia from Atlanta in 2014. In 2016 Edward decided to start driving for Uber as a side gig and to see what this new phenom was all about. As one of the first Uber drivers in the area and after over 3000 rides, Edward realized there were gaps in Uber services and paid very low rates to drivers who put lots of miles and wear and tear on their cars. Edward began looking for software he could adapt to a new style of rideshare company. A concierge rideshare platform if you will. A study of the area’s transportation industry showed that there was access to traditional cab services or very expensive limo services. But it was hard to find a concierge model who offered late-model vehicles and concierge services combined with a willingness to go anywhere and make a reservation by appointment through a website or state-of-the-art mobile phone app.
In just a few years EDWARD has doubled its business each and every year. Of course, like the rest of the hospitality industry, Covid 19 caused a setback in 2020. Finding it difficult to find drivers wanting to drive strangers putting themselves at risk for Covid 19. However, in 2021 business came back like a freight train rolling downhill with no breaks. With the acquisition of a competitor in 2022 EDWARD increased its hold on The Golden Isles market share
