Testimonials
We are now back after our year of home assignment. Our year was made so much more enjoyable due to the fine efforts of Righteous Rides in providing such a terrific vehicle and wonderful support throughout the year. Thank you for providing this service to missionaries. May God bless you as you continue this partnership with missions.
“It was such a blessing again to have the use of these well maintained vehicles managed by people who love the Lord and serve the missionaries with love and competency! So appreciate all RR is and does for the Kingdom! “
“We are grateful for the great blessing the car is while visiting various churches, annual regional conventions, and conferences etc…. It is a great blessing to be able to rely on the reliable RR transportation daily. Personally we are grateful that the vehicle allows us to travel together as a family as much as possible.”
Recent Changes
Note: Righteous Rides was recently forced to cease from offering insurance using a commercial fleet policy. We are currently converting to a model where missionaries using our vans are now required to have a personal auto policy in their name prior to picking up the vehicle. Please see the details below in the Important Information section. We will do everything we can during the reservation process to help you obtain the policy that best fits your circumstances as quickly and easily as possible.

EXCESS MILEAGE FEE: Users are allotted 66 miles per day (actual vehicle usage days). Any mileage in excess of this will incur a $.15 per mile charge upon return of the van.
