Free community lift-sharing
Drivers offer spare seats. Passengers get a lift. No money changes hands — just neighbours going the SameWay.
Post a ride, match with someone going your way, travel together. No money, no fuss, no registration fee.
Drivers post the journey they're already making. Passengers search for rides going their way — or flip on "Available now" for lifts leaving in the next two hours.
Choose a spot on the route, or ask the driver to make a small detour. A quick back-and-forth in the app — like arranging a lift with a neighbour — and you're set.
Travel together. The app tracks the ride for safety and calculates the CO₂ you've saved between you. Nothing to pay. Just a neighbourly favour done well.
Need a lift right now, or do you travel the same way every day? SameWay works for both.
Need a lift today, this week, or in the next two hours? Search available rides and request a seat. Filter by "Available Now" to see what's leaving soon.
✓ No advance planning neededRegister your regular commute once. SameWay finds drivers and passengers going the same way at the same time — and suggests a buddy connection. After a few shared journeys, you're not strangers any more.
★ Find your regularName, address, date of birth, and phone number — all on file before anyone can offer or request a single lift. No anonymity.
Once your booking is confirmed, you see the driver's first name, car make, model, colour, and registration plate. No surprises at the kerb.
One tap sends a live tracking link to anyone you choose. Trusted contacts watch your journey in real time — no app needed on their end.
Always on screen during any ride. One discreet tap sends your exact location and vehicle details to your trusted contacts. You don't have to say a word.
Every user is rated after every ride. Repeat problems result in automatic suspension. Drivers can see a passenger's record before they accept.
Post the journey you're already making. Accept passengers who fit your route. You're in control — always.
Set your detour limit — 'route only' or 'happy to go slightly out of my way.' The app respects your preference.
See the full passenger party before you accept — adults, children, pets, accessibility needs, and any notes.
Decline any request, any time. No penalty, no explanation needed.
Set your child seat and pet policy once. Passengers see it before they even request.
Every passenger you carry is a car off the road. Your lifetime CO₂ saving is tracked and displayed on your profile.
No special licence needed. Giving a free lift is not a regulated activity in the UK. A standard driving licence is all you need.
No special insurance needed. Standard UK car insurance covers social, domestic, and pleasure use — which includes free passenger lifts. Because no money changes hands, hire-and-reward rules don't apply.
Children & car seats. Declare your available child seats on your profile. The app coordinates seat arrangements before every booking.
No app charges, no booking fees, no tips. The driver is going that way. You need a lift. That's the whole arrangement.
Available Now — filter to rides leaving in the next two hours. No planning needed.
Travel buddies — register your regular route and find someone who goes the same way every day.
Travelling with pets? Declare them. The app shows only drivers whose pet policy matches your party.
Travelling with children? Declare their ages and whether a seat is needed. Drivers confirm seat arrangements before accepting.
Need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle? Filter for it. Drivers who can assist with transfers are clearly marked.
Nothing. SameWay is free to download and free to use. No subscription, no per-ride fee, no commission, no tipping system. The app carries small, tasteful adverts to cover running costs. That is the entire business model.
The average taxi fair these days runs to £12–£18, sometimes more. For a daily commuter, SameWay could save thousands of pounds a year. We just don't say it out loud very often.
When no single driver covers your full route, SameWay can chain drivers together — a relay of neighbours each doing their own short journey, together carrying you further than any one of them could alone.
Driver 2 sees live ETA updates from Driver 1. No guessing, no waiting in the dark.
The app snaps handover points to real named locations — a pub car park, a petrol station, a village hall. Never a random roadside.
If a leg driver cancels, the system searches for a replacement and notifies everyone. You always know what's happening.
As the network grows, so does the relay range. Every commuter is a node. Every regular journey is a link in a national free transport grid.
SameWay tracks the CO₂ saved on every ride. Small individually. Meaningful together.
CO₂ per km saved when a passenger travels with a driver instead of driving alone
Annual CO₂ saving from a single commuter sharing a 10-mile daily journey five days a week

"I've been driving into Winchester every morning for three years. Now Sarah hops in at the end of our lane. She gets a free lift, I get good company. We've become proper friends."
"The bus from our village was cut two years ago. I was relying on taxis for every appointment. SameWay changed that. There are three drivers who go past the surgery most mornings."
"My daughter uses it to get to college in Eastleigh. As a mum I was nervous at first — but she shares the ride tracking link with me every morning and I can see exactly where she is. Really reassured."
