A great alternative to expensive or complex public transport routes
Many students become detached from friends and family as their budget fails to cover regular visits. Spareseat offers a lower cost alternative to ensure that students can stay connected to the people they need most.
Find a journey to your destination
Students upload journeys they plan to make, including where they are going from and when they plan to go. Spareseat users can explore these journeys and choose a seat if they wish to join.
Pay for your share of fuel
Spareseat calculates the total expected fuel cost for the journey, and divides it across the number of seats in the vehicle. This keeps both the driver and passengers’ costs low.

Why Spareseat?
A great alternative to riding solo
Low cost travel option
Spareseat users just pay for their share of the fuel, often making it cheaper than alternatives such as riding solo by car, bus or train.
Faster travel option
Existing transport options such as trains and buses often take longer routes in order to be accommodating. Spareseat users are often able to travel more directly to their chosen destinations.
Growing range of journeys
Spareseat is just getting started, so there is some limitation in the number of journeys we offer. However, we are growing quickly, meaning an increasing number of journeys are becoming available.
