For vehicle owners
Turn empty seats into shared trips.
Own a van, a mini bus or a car? Design a trip you would enjoy driving, publish it with a price per seat and let travellers fill it. You keep 90% of every seat.
How owners start
From registration to your first payout
Register and verify
Upload your NIC, driving licence, revenue licence and insurance. We check them within one working day.
Design a trip
Set the route, stops, departure time, seats for sale and a price per seat. Keep seats for family if you like.
Seats fill up
Travellers book and pay through Seatmates. Set a minimum number of travellers and the trip only runs when it is worth it.
Drive and get paid
Money is released to your bank account every Monday after the trip, minus the 10% fee.
