Share the trip,
and the cost.
Sidetrip connects Kiwis who are already driving between locations with people who need to get there. No surge pricing. No empty seats.
Just community-powered travel that actually makes sense.
Every day, thousands of cars travel New Zealand's regional routes carrying one person and four empty seats. The fuel gets burned, the cost lands on one person.
Sidetrip is the connective layer brings people together.
Find
Search trips by date, location, and what you need — a seat, boot space, or a driver happy to take your parcel.
Verify
Every driver on Sidetrip has a verified licence before they can list a single trip. You see their rating, their reviews before committing.
Pay
Payment is held securely in-app and only released once your trip is complete or your delivery confirmed. No risk, no awkward conversations.
Go
Seats, boot space, bike racks, pet-friendly drivers. List what you have or find what you need — then just show up and go.
“I built Sidetrip because I was tired of the choices being spending money on expensive fuel, flights, or just not going. Kiwis deserve better travel options, so let’s fix it together!”
