What's ridesharing?

Ridesharing and carpooling are about slashing the costs of your travel (the dollar cost and the environmental one) by sharing them between more people.

You may not realise it, but filling those empty seats can make a big difference.

Here's some simple math:

You want to travel from Auckland to Wellington. It's going to cost $40 petrol. You have three empty seats.

If those seats were full then you could split the cost, pay only $10 yourself, and make a nice 75% saving.

Plus having passengers is more fun than driving alone, being a passenger is more relaxing than driving, you can drive in carpool lanes, meet people, and... more.

Ridesharing is a really good idea.

 

Driving to work?

Save money on petrol and parking, save stress, time and carbon emissions. Share a repeating ride.

Driving cross-country?

Cut your travel costs and emissions in half and get company on the long drive. Share a one-off ride.

Backpacking New Zealand?

Meet locals and backpackers and get off the beaten track. Tell us where you're going.
