Three taps to a ride.
No haggling, no waiting in the dark. Hitchikr matches you with a nearby, verified driver and shows the price before you commit.

We find the closest available vetted driver and show you their name, car and rating.
Ride and pay in-app
Track your driver in real time, chat in-app, and pay by card — or cash if you prefer.
Built around getting you home safe.
Safety isn't a feature we bolted on — it's the reason Hitchikr exists. Every trip is watched over, from the moment you book to the moment you're home.
Every driver is vetted
Drivers submit ID, a valid licence and PrDP, roadworthy and police clearance — reviewed and approved before they can take a single ride.
Share your trip live
Send a live link to family or friends so they can follow your ride in real time, right down to the destination — and add trusted contacts for one-tap reach.
Emergency SOS
Tap SOS mid-trip to call the police (10111) and alert the Hitchikr team with your live location at the same time — for riders and drivers alike.
Pickup PIN
Switch on a 4-digit pickup PIN and your driver has to enter it to start the trip — a simple way to be sure you're getting into the right car.
RideCheck
Hitchikr watches for unexpected long stops or trips going off-route and checks in on you automatically, with safety options a tap away.
In-app chat & ratings
Coordinate pickup without sharing your number. Every trip is rated, so quality stays high on both sides.
