Share the journey,
share the cost
GoKar is a South African long-distance ride-sharing marketplace. Passengers find rides to where they’re going, and drivers offer spare seats and share travel costs on journeys they’re already making.
You’ll sign in or create an account before seeing rides or listing a trip.

How it works
Get going in three simple steps
Search or offer a ride
Passengers find long-distance rides heading their way. Drivers list spare seats on journeys they’re already making.
Request or accept a booking
Passengers send a booking request; drivers review and accept. Chat to confirm pickup details before you meet.
Pay securely & travel together
Pay safely through GoKar, then share the journey and split the cost of the road.

Reviewed driver applications
Drivers are checked through an application process before they can offer rides.
Community reviews
