Everything a carpool needs, in one app
From finding a match to getting paid, the whole trip is handled in the app.
Riley, your AI assistant
Tell Riley where and when you travel. Riley finds matching rides and, for drivers, can publish your regular commute for you.
Fair cost-sharing prices
Prices are capped to the shared cost of the trip, so carpooling stays about splitting expenses, not making a profit.
Secure, simple payments
Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, a card or your wallet. See the full price before you book and get a refund to your wallet if you cancel.
Built on trust
Verified members, a start code that confirms you are in the right car, in-app chat and ratings after every ride.
Your commute on autopilot
Set your daily ride once. Drivers can auto-publish it, and riders can request the same ride every day.

You pay your share. The driver keeps all of theirs.
Ride prices follow a cost-sharing limit based on the IRS standard mileage rate, so a seat can never cost more than its share of the trip.
- The limit is the mileage rate × trip distance ÷ seats offered
- You see the total, including fee and tax, before you book
- The driver receives the full ride price, with no deduction
- Cancel before the ride and your payment returns to your wallet
Example booking
The driver receives the full $10.00. Example for illustration; the app always shows your exact total before you confirm.
Questions, answered
Is ShareSpace a taxi or ride-hailing service?
No. ShareSpace is a carpool app for sharing the cost of a trip someone is already making. Prices are capped to a cost-sharing limit, so drivers cannot run it as a fare business.
How are ride prices set?
The driver sets a price per seat, but it can never be above the cost-sharing limit: the standard IRS mileage rate multiplied by the trip distance and divided by the number of seats offered. The app shows the limit while the driver sets the price.
What do I pay as a passenger?
The ride price for your seat or seats, plus a small service fee (10% of the ride price) and any tax on that fee. You see the full breakdown and the total before you confirm a booking.
How does the driver get paid?
The driver receives the full ride price in their in-app wallet and can request a withdrawal. Nothing is taken out of the driver's share.
Which payment methods can I use?
Your in-app wallet, a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, all processed securely by Stripe. You can also pay the driver in cash, in which case only the service fee is paid in the app.
What happens if I cancel a booking?
If you cancel before the ride starts, everything you paid goes back to your wallet and can be used on another ride.
How does ShareSpace help keep me safe?
Members are verified, each ride has a start code that confirms you are getting into the right car, you can chat in the app without sharing your phone number, and you can rate every ride.
Is the app free?
Yes, ShareSpace is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. You only pay when you book a seat.
