How it works

Two ways to travel together.

Every trip on SideSeat has someone with a car and someone who needs a seat. Here's what each side looks like.

Riding with someone

  1. 1

    Search your route

    Tell us where you're leaving from and where you're headed. We also surface drivers just passing through your city, not only exact matches.

  2. 2

    Book your seat

    Compare drivers on price, timing and rating. Rides marked Instant Booking confirm straight away; the rest go to the driver to approve.

  3. 3

    Meet and ride

    Message your driver in the app, agree on a pickup point, and share the cost of the journey between you.

Offering seats

  1. 1

    Publish your ride

    Set your route, date, time and seats. We suggest a fair price band based on the distance, so you're never guessing.

  2. 2

    Choose who rides

    Approve each request yourself, or switch on Instant Booking to fill your seats faster.

  3. 3

    Share the cost

    Passengers pay their share of the trip, and you both earn coins in your wallet once it's completed.

Why SideSeat

Everything you need to ride with strangers.

Verified people, honest prices and a way to talk it through before anyone gets in the car.

Verified profiles

Members can verify their identity with Aadhaar and carry a verified badge. Only the last four digits are ever stored.

Instant Booking

Rides marked with a bolt confirm the moment you book them — no waiting around for a driver to reply.

Pickups along the way

We match drivers whose route passes through your city, so you see rides that a strict city-to-city search would miss.

A fair, fixed price

Seat prices are set from the distance travelled, to share costs rather than turn a profit. What you see is what you pay.

Chat before you ride

Message your driver or your passengers in the app to sort out the pickup point, the timing and the luggage.

Ratings both ways

Drivers and passengers rate each other after every trip, reviews stay on the profile, and anyone can report a problem.

Coins & rewards

Every kilometre earns you coins.

Offer a ride and you earn for every passenger who books. Take a ride and you earn for the distance you travel. Coins land in your wallet once the trip is completed.

  • 1 coin = ₹1.00Straightforward value
  • 0.1 paisa / kmDriver and passenger alike
  • From 100 coinsMinimum withdrawal

Cash out straight to UPI, or swap your coins for Amazon and Flipkart gift cards.

Safety & impact

Sharing a car should feel easy.

Built for trust

  • Aadhaar verification, with a visible verified badge on the profile.
  • Two-way ratings and public reviews after every completed trip.
  • Report a member or a ride in a couple of taps, any time.
  • Your data is handled under the DPDP Act, 2023 — and never sold.
How we handle your data

~71%

less CO₂ per seat

A shared seat carries a fraction of the emissions of driving the same route alone. Four people in one car instead of four cars on the same highway.
