Ridewith connects you with people already going your way, so you can share the ride and split what it costs. Pick your destination and see who is heading there. Post your own route in a few taps, as a one-off trip or a recurring weekday commute, and let people ask to join. TWO WAYS TO SHARE A RIDE - I'll drive. Offer the empty seats in your own car and share gas and tolls. - Split a rideshare. Book the trip together and split the fare. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose where you're going. Ridewith shows routes near you heading the same way. 2. Nothing matching? Post your own route in the same flow, without starting over. 3. Send a request to join, or review the requests coming in on your route. 4. Chat in the app to sort out pickup, timing, and how you'll split. 5. Meet up and go. BUILT AROUND TRUST - ID verification is required before you can connect with anyone. - Profile badges show what each rider has verified: email, workplace, school, or a background check. - Post routes publicly, or keep them unlisted and share the link only with people you choose. - Block controls on every profile. SPLIT IT FAIRLY Ridewith shows a suggested split so nobody has to do the math. You settle up between yourselves however you prefer: cash, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, or Apple Pay. Ridewith does not process the payment for your ride and does not take a cut of it. COMMUTES, TRIPS, AND EVENTS Save the routes you take often and post them on a repeating weekly schedule, so your regular commute goes up once instead of every morning. Browse group boards for popular destinations when a lot of people are heading the same way at the same time. Ridewith is for sharing rides that someone is already taking. It is not a taxi or for-hire service, and it is not a way to earn money driving.
