How PeekUp is Addressing Women’s Safety in Ride-Hailing Services

In the Philippines, where ride-hailing services are part of daily urban life, ensuring women’s safety during travel is non-negotiable. PeekUp recognizes this need and has implemented female-first features designed to create a trusted and secure travel experience for all women — whether they’re students, working professionals, or solo travelers at night.

Women-First Safety Protocols

From the moment a woman books a ride, PeekUp activates an extra layer of protection:

•   All drivers undergo strict background checks and behavior monitoring.

•   Only highly-rated drivers are matched with solo female riders during late hours.

•   Riders can share their live location and driver details instantly with emergency contacts via in-app tools.

Trained Drivers, Safer Rides

PeekUp conducts sensitivity and behavior training for all drivers. They are trained to respond calmly and professionally in all situations, and any misconduct is swiftly addressed by the support team.

Emergency Features That Actually Work

PeekUp’s real-time SOS button connects the rider directly to our internal crisis response team and local emergency services. Unlike other apps where such features are slow or symbolic, PeekUp ensures that help is a tap away — and fast.

Community Watch & Reporting

Riders are encouraged to rate and report issues without fear. Every flagged incident is reviewed thoroughly, and offending drivers are either warned or deactivated immediately depending on severity.

Conclusion

PeekUp is leading the way in redefining women’s safety in the Philippine ride-hailing scene. With thoughtful features and continuous improvements, we aim to make every ride safe, respectful, and empowering for women acros
