Drivers

Turn empty seats into shared trip costs.

Post the trips you are already taking, choose riders who fit, and get payout visibility after completed inter-city rides.

01

Post trip

Set your route, departure time, seats, price, luggage rules, stops, and rider preferences.

02

Accept riders

Review rider requests, confirm details, and keep everyone aligned with in-app messaging.

03

Earn payouts

Completed trips settle after the dispute window, with payouts sent through Stripe Connect.

Earnings control

Set a contribution per seat, preview payout estimates, and adjust for route length, timing, luggage, and demand.

Request control

Review rider context before accepting requests when your trip is not instant-book.

Trip preferences

Set seats, stops, max detour, luggage, pets, music, conversation, winter tires, and comfort expectations.

Requirements checklist

Complete profile, vehicle setup, payout connection, accurate route details, safe vehicle condition, and compliance with applicable insurance and driving rules.

Insurance responsibility

Drivers are responsible for confirming personal auto insurance, licensing, and legal obligations before using SeatShare.

Reliability matters

Repeated cancellations, no-shows, unsafe driving, or off-platform payment pressure can lead to account restrictions.

How do I become a driver?

Create an account, complete profile and vehicle setup, connect payouts, and follow the driver onboarding checklist before posting rides.

How much can drivers earn?

Drivers set the listed contribution per seat. The app previews estimated net payout after the rider service fee and estimated payment processing costs.

When do drivers get paid?

Completed trip payouts clear after the post-trip dispute window. SeatShare currently uses a 4-day clearing window before payout release processing.

Can drivers post any route?

Drivers can post supported inter-city routes, but routes may be limited by launch coverage, safety controls, frequency rules, and city availability.

Does SeatShare provide insurance?

Drivers are responsible for understanding their personal auto insurance, licensing, and legal obligations. SeatShare is a platform for arranging shared rides, not an insurance provider.
