Cost-sharing, not ride-hailing Turn empty seats into shared journeys

The smart way to hitch a ride

Why HopIn

Safer than hitchhiking, cheaper than ride hailing

Smart route matching

Drivers list everyday journeys they already make. Passengers match to existing routes, so drivers avoid long detours or unpaid time on the road.

Built for real passengers

Profiles, basic checks, and simple ratings help both sides decide who to share with. You choose the journeys and people that work for you.

Lower your footprint

Fewer single-occupant cars means lower emissions. HopIn tracks estimated savings so you can see the impact of sharing each trip.

Ready for electric vehicles

For EVs, contributions can be based on real energy use rather than fuel guesses. Everyone can see how the cost split is calculated.

Driver rewards

Regular sharers can unlock perks such as fuel credit, charging credit, or transport discounts in partnership with mobility brands.

Everyday journeys

HopIn focuses on short, repeated routes such as university runs and local commutes, where sharing seats is simple and predictable.

How it works

Three steps from empty seat to shared ride

1

Drivers share their real route

Drivers list everyday trips, such as commuting from university to home or between cities. The app treats this as a fixed route that others can join.

2

Passengers match and reserve a seat

Passengers search by origin, destination, and time window. HopIn suggests journeys where the driver is already heading that way, avoiding long detours.

3

Costs are shared, not sold

Passengers contribute towards the trip costs, such as fuel or energy, instead of paying a fare. Everyone sees a clear breakdown before they confirm.

Impact

Built for students, commuters, and greener travel

HopIn starts where it can make the most difference: students and local commuters who travel the same routes day after day. By filling empty seats on existing trips, HopIn aims to cut single-occupant car journeys while making everyday travel more affordable.

The long term goal is to support corridors between universities, towns, and nearby cities, saving passengers money compared with trains and buses while lowering emissions across each route.

Up to 50%

Potential saving compared with some traditional transport on pilot routes.

Fewer cars

Every shared journey removes at least one single-occupant car from the road.

Everyday focus

Short, repeated journeys first, such as university corridors and local commutes.

Future pilots

Early versions will launch as limited pilots before widening to more regions.
