How a lift club runs
01
Register
Riders and drivers create a profile with ID, cellphone and home suburb. Two minutes, no paperwork.
02
Get verified
Drivers upload licence, roadworthy certificate and passenger insurance before a route goes live.
03
Claim a seat
Search your corridor, see the driver, price per trip and pickup time, then reserve for the month.
04
Pay & ride
Debit order, card or PayFast. RouteMate SA holds the fare and pays drivers out monthly.
Safety is the product
Every driver is verified before a single seat is sold, and every rider profile is linked to a South African cellphone number.
- Driving licence checked against the original document
- Roadworthy certificate and vehicle photographs on file
- Passenger liability insurance confirmed annually
- Ratings and trip history visible on every driver profile
- POPIA controls: you choose what riders can see and can delete your data
