SideCar helps verified college students share planned trips and split travel costs. FIND A RIDE Search by route and date, review driver profiles and ratings, choose an available seat, and request pickup and drop-off points along the trip route. POST A RIDE Drivers can publish trips they are already taking, set seat availability and luggage preferences, review rider requests, and manage upcoming rides. COORDINATE WITH CONFIDENCE • Student email and identity verification • In-app messaging and trip notifications • Rider and driver profiles, ratings, and reviews • Women-only ride preferences • Pickup codes and live trip details • Block, report, and support tools SECURE PAYMENTS Pay for confirmed seats in the app. SideCar uses Stripe for payment processing and driver payouts. Referral credits are automatically applied to eligible rides. SideCar is a cost-sharing platform for students coordinating trips they are already taking. It is not a ride share / taxi service. Availability is currently focused on the UC Santa Barbara community and supported California routes.
