Finding a Ride
If you are travelling somewhere and you don't have your own car - entering a Ride Request listing is how you find a ride and get to communicate with people going your way.
Your responsibilities as a traveller:
- Provide as much information as possible to avoid misunderstandings.
- Let the driver know if you carry excess or oversize luggage or have special needs
- If you are using SafeTrack, please update the status of your Ride as soon as possible.
- Feedback is an integral part of our system and is what people will judge you on for future interactions - make it count.

You will need a user account to proceed, please signup - it is free and easy.
Step 2: Listing
Finding a transport partner for a Ride is easy. Just enter a listing for it on the website.
To enter a new listing listing click on 'New Consignment' under 'Find Transport' in the main left menu.
The Ride Request form has instructions on what to enter. Please experiment. Tips:
- When entering the 'From' and 'To' address, make sure you click 'Confirm Address' so that your address gets saved. It is useful to enter the full address of pickup and delivery to make it easier for the driver.
- The size, weight and other details are not strictly required but help us provide you with better matches.
- It is not necessary to enter a full address for pickup and drop-off, a town name is fine if you don't mind a central meeting point.
Step 3: Negotiating
Once your new Ride Request is entered you will be taken directly to the Negotiation page where you will see any matching Journey listings who you can partner with.
If there is a matching Journey you can send them a message to see if they would like to make you an offer. If there are no matches, leave your listing in the system to be visible on the map. When a new matching Journey is entered you will be advised by email.
