ThumbRides connects riders and drivers on medium-to-long haul trips - making road trips cheaper, greener, and more social.
ThumbRides is a cost-sharing rideshare marketplace. Drivers post seats on trips they're already taking, and charge a fair price-per-seat that helps cover the cost of their trip expenses, such as gas and tolls.
HOW IT WORKS
FOR RIDERS: Browse open seats on any long-distance route across the US. Request a seat, chat with your driver, and confirm your spot. Pay your driver directly via Venmo, Cash App, or however you agree - no money moves through the app, so there are no booking fees and no platform surcharges.
FOR DRIVERS: Post your trip, set your cost-share price (the app automatically enforces IRS-compliant per-mile limits to keep things fair and legal), and choose who rides with you. You're not driving for hire - you're sharing the cost of a trip you're already taking.
BUILT FOR ANY ROUTE IN THE UNITED STATES
Post any route you want within the United States. If there's demand, riders will find you.

WHAT THUMBRIDES IS FOR
Medium-to-long haul drives and road trips, city to city - the kind of drive where splitting the cost makes a real difference. Drivers are everyday people sharing trips they're already taking, not drivers for hire. Cost shares are capped so everyone stays on the right side of the line.
