About CrabaRide

Connecting South Africans through safe, affordable and convenient carpooling

Our Mission

Are you one of the 46 million South Africans who face expensive or unsafe transport daily? CrabaRide lets you share seats for long-distance trips in a safer, cheaper and greener way.

Our Vision

We aim to build Africa's trusted carpool network, cutting congestion, lowering emissions and linking communities.

Free of Charge

At CrabaRide we believe that safety is a right, not a privilege: we ensure safety for all at no charge by verifying the ID of all our users.

How We Connect People

Each booking opens a dedicated WhatsApp chat for co-ordination, while partnerships with Facebook lift-club groups provide a structured alternative to buses or informal taxis.
