Backseat

How Backseat Works

One simple idea: if you're already going somewhere, take someone along. They don't have to pay you — but if they wish, they can turn the journey into an act of kindness.

For riders & drivers

01

Register your vehicle

Add your two-wheeler or four-wheeler details once. No fare or fee to set — there's no field for it.

02

Get verified

Our team checks your vehicle details before your charity QR goes live, so passengers can trust who they're riding with.

03

Offer your route

Whenever you're heading somewhere, publish your start point, destination, and spare seats.

04

Show your Charity QR

At the end of the ride, display your personal QR. It only identifies you for credit — never for payment to you.

For passengers

01

Search your route

Find verified riders already heading your way.

02

Request to join

Send a request. The rider accepts, and you travel together — completely free.

03

Scan the QR

After the ride, scan the rider's charity QR if you'd like to give back.

04

Donate any amount

Type in whatever you wish — or nothing at all. It goes straight to our charity partners.

What Backseat is not

  • • Not a taxi or fare-based transport service — there is no price list, meter, or booking fee.
  • • Riders cannot set, request, or negotiate an amount, on the app or in person.
  • • Passengers are never required to pay anything to travel.
  • • Donations, when made, go only to our registered charity partners — never to a rider's account.
