Safety on Point2
What we check before an operator can accept a request, what you can do during a trip, and what happens when something goes wrong.
If you are in danger, call 112. Point2 does not contact the police or emergency services on your behalf.
How operators are checked
- Every operator verifies their identity with their NIN and a liveness selfie.
- They submit the licences, vehicle details and insurance their service needs. Point2 reviews them before they can accept requests.
- Operators whose documents expire are taken offline until they upload valid ones.
- An identity already registered to another operator is refused and reviewed for fraud.
To be clear about the limits: Point2 does not currently carry out criminal-record checks or physical vehicle inspections.
During your trip
- Check before you get in
- Match the plate, vehicle and operator photo in the app before you get in or hand over an item.
- Share your trip
- Send a live link to someone you trust. They can follow the trip in a browser without the app or an account, and the link stops working when the trip ends.
- Deliveries and cargo
- Drop-off is confirmed with a PIN.
The SOS button
- During a trip, tap SOS in the app.
- Your location goes to the Point2 safety team and is texted to the emergency contacts you have saved.
- You get a notification when our team has acknowledged it.
- If a customer raises an SOS, the operator's account is suspended while we review what happened.
Save your emergency contacts in the app before you need them.
Standards for everyone
- Harassment, threats, violence and discrimination are not tolerated, from customers or operators.
- Everyone follows traffic and safety laws.
- Operators keep valid licences, documents and a roadworthy vehicle.
- We investigate reports and may suspend or permanently remove accounts.
Report a problem
Report it from the trip in the app, or in Account → Help & Support. You can also email support@point2.app or call 0811 233 6839.
