Phone-verified accounts
Every account is verified with a one-time password (OTP) sent to the mobile number. Profiles need a name and gender before posting a ride.
Your safety comes first
Sharing a ride with someone new should feel comfortable. Here is how CoRide protects you before, during and after every trip.
Your number stays private
Your phone number is never shown to other riders. After a request is accepted, you talk through in-app chat.
Only your area is shared
Before a match is accepted, others see only the area name and an approximate distance (rounded), never your exact address.
Women-only rides
Women can post and search for women-only rides. The setting is respected in both directions by our matching.
Two-way ratings
After every trip, riders rate each other. Ratings and shared-trip counts are shown on profiles to help you decide.
Report and block
Block someone and they can no longer see or contact you. Reports are reviewed, and accounts with repeated reports are suspended automatically.
In-app chat and calls
Coordinate your meeting point by chat, or call your co-rider inside the app during the trip. Phone numbers are never exchanged. Calls may be recorded for safety only if you agree.
SOS button
One press alerts the CoRide safety team with your trip and live location. It is always on the trip screen while you ride.
Emergency contacts
Add family or friends if you wish. When you press SOS they get a message with a link to follow your trip live. They confirm their number first, and you can remove them at any time.
Live location during the trip
From shortly before departure until the trip ends, co-riders see each other on a map and our safety team can see the trip if you raise an SOS. Sharing stops when the trip ends.
Pickup verified by code
The co-rider shows a QR or 4-digit code and the host scans it standing next to them. It confirms who actually rode together.
Support team in the app
Write to CoRide support from the app about a ride or a co-rider. Safety requests go to the top of the queue.
Fair, capped cost sharing
Owners can only ask for a share of fuel cost, capped by the app. It is a cost share between commuters, not a taxi fare.
Clear pickup times
CoRide shows when your co-rider is expected to reach your pickup, based on the real road route.
Ride smart
Safety tips for every ride
Meet at a public place
Choose a busy, well-lit pickup point such as a main road, bus stop or market, especially for your first ride with someone.
Check the profile before you ride
Look at the name, rating and number of shared trips. For bikes and cars, match the vehicle shown in the app before you get in.
Keep chats inside the app
There is no need to share your phone number, home address or social media. Use in-app chat to coordinate.
Tell someone you trust
Share your trip link from the app with a friend or family member, and add them as an emergency contact so they are told if you press SOS.
Verify the pickup code
Before you set off, show or scan the pickup code in the app. If the person who arrives cannot show it, do not ride with them.
Wear a helmet on two-wheelers
A helmet is mandatory for the pillion rider. Carry your own if you can.
Trust your instincts
If something feels wrong, do not start the ride. Block and report the person, and in an emergency call 112.
