BoolRider is the student-only way to get home from campus. We connect verified student riders with verified student drivers who are already making the trip, making travel more affordable for everyone in the car. Whether you're heading home for the weekend, traveling to the airport, or returning to campus, BoolRider helps you find rides with students from your school. Drivers can post trips they're already taking, choose who rides with them, and help offset the cost of their drive. Riders can browse available trips, request a seat, message their driver, and pay securely through the app. To help build a trusted community, BoolRider is limited to verified students. Drivers complete identity, driver's license, and insurance verification before posting rides. Each trip also includes a unique pickup code to help confirm that riders get into the correct vehicle. BoolRider is designed for the longer-distance trips college students already make.
