Pay for your seat, not the whole van.
Van, bus, car and jeep owners all over Sri Lanka publish the trips they are driving. Book one seat for yourself, a few for your friends or a whole row for the family.
One platform, every kind of trip
Go alone, bring the gang, take the family or join a pilgrimage. The seat is yours either way.
Colombo to Ella this weekend
Same road, three ways to get there.
Trips with seats open
Every review comes from a paid seat
Travellers can only review a trip after they paid for it and the trip ended. One booking, one review, with their own photos.
Shared by travellers
Three steps from your sofa to the hills
Trips made by people who drive them
Every trip is designed by a verified owner: route, stops, departure time and price per seat. Filter by place, date, price or vibe.
See who is going before you book
The live seat map shows every free seat and the first names and interests of the people already going. Front-view seats are marked.
A group chat, then the open road
Your ticket opens a group chat 48 hours before the trip. On the day, the host shares a live location and picks you up on the route.
Your van has empty seats. Fill them with travellers.
Thousands of Sri Lankan vans and mini buses sit idle on weekends. Design a trip you would love to drive, choose your own price per seat and Seatmates fills it.
Rs. 8,900 is only an example. You set the seat price for every trip you publish.
Better than a crowded bus, cheaper than hiring a van
Your own seat, your own pace
Pick a window seat, sit with your friends or keep to yourself. If you want company, you can see what the others on the trip enjoy.
Cheaper than going alone
Fuel, tolls and the driver are shared by every seat, so a weekend in Ella costs less than a bus and a taxi.
Safe by design
Verified IDs for hosts and travellers, women-only trips, live trip sharing and ratings after every ride.
Not only holidays
Rides home on Friday, pilgrimages, cricket matches, weddings and festivals. If people are going, a seat can be shared.
