Rideshare Group
Rideshare Group is a network of niche carpooling platforms designed to reduce carbon emissions, increase transport accessibility, and foster stronger community connections.
Mobility Rideshare Football Rideshare Mountain Rideshare Festival Rideshare Surf Rideshare
By enabling people with empty seats in their vehicles to easily share rides with others travelling to the same destination, we directly address issues of sustainability, affordability, and social inclusion.
Our platform serves diverse communities — from outdoor enthusiasts (Mountain Rideshare, Surf Rideshare), to sports fans (Football Rideshare), to cultural event participants (Festival Rideshare). In addition, we actively work to include passengers with mobility challenges or disabilities who often face limited transport options, particularly in rural or underserved areas. By making carpooling more accessible for disabled individuals, we help remove barriers to social participation, employment, healthcare, and recreation.
Beyond the environmental benefits of reducing single-occupancy vehicle use and lowering CO₂ emissions, Rideshare Group contributes to more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable transportation solutions that strengthen both local and regional communities across Europe.
Driving alone is inefficient, expensive, and unsustainable.
70%+ of car journeys in the EU/UK are single-occupancy Rising fuel costs and climate concerns
Public transport often doesn’t reach remote destinations like mountains, festivals, or surf spots
Safety concerns and lack of trust in generic carpooling options
