Meet your owner and driver
Hi, I’m Steve.
When you book Smart Ride, you know exactly who is picking you up. I personally review your reservation, communicate with you, and drive every confirmed ride.

Personal transportation, personally handled
A local service built on reliability
I founded Smart Ride Central Ohio to give travelers a more dependable and personal option for airport transfers, business travel, special events, medical appointments, and private scheduled transportation.
My goal is simple: communicate clearly, arrive prepared, and make your ride the least stressful part of your day.
Because I handle the reservation and the driving myself, you are not passed between a call center, dispatcher, and randomly assigned driver.
What you can expect from me
Every part of the experience is designed around clarity, preparation, and personal accountability.
You communicate with the person who is actually responsible for your ride.
Pickup timing is planned around your route, flight, traffic, travelers, and luggage.
The Steve and vehicle shown on this site are the ones you should expect to see.
Airport coordination, flight tracking, meet-and-greet service, and luggage assistance are available.
Professional service without feeling impersonal
Smart Ride combines a polished private transportation experience with the reassurance of working directly with a local owner.
“When you reserve a ride with me, I want you to feel confident that someone is paying attention to the details from the moment you book until you reach your destination.”
— Steve French, Owner & Driver
