How a Trippr ride works

A driver posts a trip they are already taking. A passenger asks for a spare seat. If the driver accepts, you can message, meet, and share the drive.

  1. 1 Search

    See trips near you, with the fare, the time, the distance, and the seats left.

  2. 2 Request

    Choose how many seats you need, and suggest a pickup if you need one.

  3. 3 Accept

    The driver decides. You pay, and messaging opens, only if they say yes.

  4. 4 Ride

    Meet up, share the car, and leave a review when you arrive.

Find a seat and see the cost first

Trips nearby show who is driving, where they are headed, when they leave, how far it is, and what a seat costs. Open a trip and the route is on the map, including a stop if the driver added one.

Ask for the number of seats you need. If their route does not pass your door, suggest a pickup and the driver decides whether they can make it. The price on the card is for the whole trip. You pay for the distance you book, and only if the driver accepts.

  • Fare, time, distance, and seats are visible before you ask.
  • Suggest a pickup that suits you.
  • Cancel up to two hours before departure. Passengers are refunded, minus the app fee.

Fill the spare seats in your car

Post the drive you were going to make: where you start, where you finish, when you leave, and how many seats you can offer. Add a stop if you are passing through somewhere on the way. Say whether food, pets, or smoking are welcome, so people know before they request a seat.

Each request shows who wants to come and where they hope to be picked up. Accept the ones that fit the car. When passengers join, the payout helps cover the cost of running the car for that trip.

  • You choose the route, the time, and the spare seats.
  • You accept or decline each request.
  • The payout goes toward the cost of the drive.
You keep the front seat and offer the ones you are happy to fill.

Check who you are riding with

A star rating from other riders sits on the trip, so you can read reviews before you request a seat. Drivers can do the same before they accept a passenger. After a request is accepted, you can message about the meeting place and whether you are running late.

On the day, the trip shows the route and who is in the car. You can share your location with the people on that trip while it is underway. Afterwards, leave a review. If someone is unsafe, report them from the trip.

  • Ratings and reviews are on the trip before you commit.
  • Messaging opens when the driver accepts.
  • Share your location during the trip, then review how it went.

Use the car that is already going

Plenty of trips between towns leave with empty seats. Trippr is for putting those seats to use, so the cost of the car is shared and fewer cars make the same journey.

Passengers spend less than each person driving their own car. Drivers get help with a trip they were making anyway. One fuller car is also less pollution than two half-empty ones.

  • Share the cost of a trip that was happening anyway.
  • Fewer cars on the same road.
  • A practical way to travel between towns in Australia and New Zealand.

One shared car Spare seats used
