Defrost Rides

Never drive to class alone. Defrost is the free way college students get rides to class. Post your schedule, give a ride when you're already driving, or get a ride when you need one. Ride inside your own group (your friends, club, floor, or fraternity), or check your .edu email to find rides with any verified student at your school. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your school and add your class schedule with one tap • Rides that find you: a ride that gets you to your next class on time, a ride after class, or a friend who finishes with you. Defrost suggests it and fills in the details • Plan it in chat: post a plan like pickup basketball or a Target run, friends tap I'm in, and it turns into rides. Text it to friends who are not on Defrost yet • Give a ride when you're already driving, or get a ride when you need one. Riders can get off at a stop on the way or ask the driver for another spot, with estimated times so nobody runs late • Watch it arrive: see your driver on the map with the arrival time and the car to look for • Chat with the people on your ride ("I'm coming", "5 min away", "I'm here"), share your trip with a friend, and say thanks afterward • A simple credit system (give a ride, earn a credit; get one, spend one) keeps things fair without ever blocking you from asking for help, and group admins can hide it if they prefer BUILT FOR YOUR GROUP Start a group for your friends, club, floor, or fraternity, and invite people with one link. Admins choose who can invite and who can start sub-groups. You choose which notifications you get. Add public or private sub-groups for your major or your gym crew, each with its own chat. Everything (rides, schedules, credits, spots) stays inside your group. YOUR WHOLE SCHOOL Going home for break, heading to the airport, or going to the game? Check your school email once and see rides from verified students at your school. Say you're driving or that you need a ride, offer to chip in for gas if you want (between you two, never through the app), and tap I'm in to chat privately. KNOW CAMPUS Search any building on the map, see the closest parking deck and what it costs, and drop pickup spots, exits, and road tips your group can see, so nobody is guessing which door to meet at. FREE, ALWAYS No fares, no surge pricing, no driver cut. Chipping in for gas is up to you and happens between you two. Just people getting each other where they need to go.
