Technology

Rideshare advertising can refer to digital display screens placed in the back of vehicles, as well as exterior car wraps and displays, snack boxes, and more. Drivers contract with rideshare advertising companies, and ad displays are controlled by the rideshare advertising company. James Bellefeuille, founder of Vugo, coined the term "Rideshare Advertising." As independent contractors, rideshare drivers have full control over the display of games, advertisements, and decorations inside their cars, paving the way for companies to purchase this ad inventory. In-car rideshare advertising companies serve ad impressions to a group of consumers that is typically younger and maintains a higher disposable income. Rideshare advertising companies such as Halo and Firefly have also found success focusing on exterior advertisements, drumming up support from investors and touting increased earnings for drivers. Most rideshare advertising companies use geotargeting to display relevant ads to the riders in the cars.
