Waymo announced on its official blog that it is now opening registration for its new “Waymo for Business” service to organizations of all kinds. Through this offering, companies can subsidize transportation costs for employees or purchase bulk ride credits at discounted rates to distribute to clients, partners, and internal staff. The company emphasized that pricing for corporate travel services will remain consistent with Waymo’s standard ride-hailing fares.
Online used car platform Carvana has been named as one of the first customers to join Waymo’s corporate travel program.
While many individuals already use Waymo’s autonomous ride-hailing service for their daily commutes, this marks the company’s first formal push into the enterprise and organizational market. According to Waymo, nearly one in six local riders in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix use Waymo for commuting to work or school.
Riders will continue to book rides through the Waymo One app (and in select cities, such as Austin, also via the Uber app). For employees of participating companies, the ride experience remains identical to that of individual users, with the key difference being greater control and oversight for employers.
Through the Waymo for Business management portal, companies will be able to centrally manage employee transportation. Corporate clients can set geographic service zones, designate pick-up and drop-off points, and monitor travel activity and budget spending in real time.
Waymo also plans to expand its enterprise service to additional markets, including Washington, D.C., and Miami, depending on when commercial operations launch in those cities. Over the past 18 months, Waymo has accelerated its nationwide expansion, positioning itself as the leading autonomous ride-hailing service in the U.S.. Since its debut in Phoenix, Waymo’s operations have grown to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, and Atlanta, with more cities scheduled to go live in 2026.
In parallel, Waymo is pursuing diversification strategies to broaden its user base. The company has secured service permits for key transportation hubs such as Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, San Jose Mineta International Airport, and the soon-to-launch San Francisco International Airport, directly challenging traditional ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft. Waymo has also partnered with public transportation provider Via and introduced a feature that allows teenagers to ride using their parents’ accounts.
The launch of Waymo for Business represents a significant step in expanding the real-world applications of autonomous driving, reinforcing Waymo’s role as a pioneer in the future of urban mobility.
