Carpool across India from your phone
The SideSeat Android app does everything the website does — search intercity rides, book a seat, publish your own, chat with your co-travellers and track your coins — with push notifications so you never miss a booking request.
Join the tester list
The app is in closed testing on Google Play, so it is not searchable in the Play Store yet. We add testers in small batches — leave your email and we'll send you the opt-in link as soon as a spot opens.
- Android only for now. iOS is next.
- Use the Google account signed in on your phone — the Play tester link only works for that account.
- Testers need to stay opted in for the app to graduate to a public release, so please keep it installed once you join.
What you can do in the app
Search and book in seconds
Find rides on your route, sort by price, departure or how close the pickup is, and book a seat — instantly where the driver allows it.
Publish from your phone
Set your route, dates, seats and price in about a minute, and approve who travels with you.
Message before you travel
Agree the pickup point in the app without handing over your phone number until you want to.
Push notifications that matter
Booking requests, driver replies and ride alerts reach you straight away instead of sitting in an inbox.
Coins and payouts
Track what every kilometre earns you and cash out to UPI or gift cards, without opening a browser.
Verified profiles
See who you are travelling with — ratings, verification badges and travel preferences on every profile.
In the meantime
Everything works on the website, and it installs to your home screen as a web app if you want it one tap away.
