There are so many people driving on their own each day, how many times do you see only one person in the car next to you? Most of us need to travel on a regular basis and for many of us private transport by car is the only viable option. Without an easy way of finding potential travel companions, many might feel unable to share their journeys.

How does it work?

Findalift.co.za helps members travel better by providing a user-friendly, free and secure tool to help members find others travelling their way. Findalift.co.za has already welcomed almost 6000 members nationally and allows you to quickly find others travelling your way so you can decide to make contact and arrange to share the journey.

Register for free, confirm your start location and desired destination on the map and add your journey details. Then simply click on the ‘search for matches’ button and matches will be displayed instantly. Once a suitable match is found you can make secure contact through the website and send a ‘request to share’. Your request to share can then be accepted and journey sharing begins.

Partake in the National Transport Month promotion and you could win great prizes. The promotion runs from 15 October to 15 November and the winners will be announced on 16 November. The promotion is subject to the standard promotions terms and conditions, details which can be found on by clicking here.

Findalift.co.za was recently 1 of 5 finalists for the Transport Award at the Eco-Logic Awards in association with SABC3 (on Top Billing). The recognition goes to companies that are reducing the environmental impact of transport in our country and included other finalists such as South African Airways and EQSTRA.

If everyone added their daily trips on Findalift.co.za we could all really help each other save money and travel better.
