With competing rideshare programs, it takes more than getting from point A to point B safely for drivers to receive a five-star rating, which is why [Cargo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-hammock) has teamed up with Leaders to provide riders with [luxurious Korean face masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bliss-passenger-princess-kit) that can be purchased during the ride.

Cargo is a new start-up that enables [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-3) drivers to sell snacks from the backseat of their car. As of this month, cargo-equipped vehicles will offer users a complimentary sample of the full-size 'Labotica Green Tea Skin Soft Masks.' The promotion benefits both companies as it exposes a wide client base to Cargo's mobile three-step checkout process, while advertising Leaders' lavish beauty products.

Cargo intends to excite and elicit curiosity from its clients with product offerings that are both bold and convenient -- a concept which the sale of these beauty masks solidifies.
