Millions travel the same roads daily — alone. Commuters spend £200-£400/month getting to work while empty seats go to waste. Hitch is a verified commuter rideshare app for the UK. Not a taxi. Not Uber. Real people, same routes, split costs. Every user is ID verified with selfie match. Women-only mode. Live trip sharing. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.
I was sitting in traffic watching the cars around me. Every single one had empty seats.
Not one. Not a few. Every. Single. One.
This is my 6th business. After 5 attempts you stop asking "why hasn't someone built this?" and start asking "what's stopping me from building it?"
The UK citizen is being crushed right now. Train fares up 4.6% in 2025. ULEZ fees pushing older cars off the road. Road pricing arriving e.g Oxfordshire. Uber taking 30% and calling it a service.
And every one of those drivers already making that journey has an empty seat going to waste. In the middle of a cost of living crisis, that empty seat is money left on the table every single day.
Hitch solves all of these problems.
Whether you're a daily commuter or heading across the country for the weekend, if someone's going your way, Hitch connects you. Verified people, same destination, split the cost. That's it.
Before anyone asks about safety - I built this with safety as the priority, from day one.
Here is every layer of security for our users:
🪪 Government-issued ID check - every single user, no exceptions
🤳 Selfie match to ID - your face must match before you're approved
📱 Phone number verified - no anonymous accounts, ever
📍 Live trip sharing - someone always knows where you are
⭐ Ratings after every journey - full accountability both ways
👩 Women-only mode - women have the option to only travel with other verified women
💰 Cost-sharing only - drivers cannot profit. Contributions cover fuel, ULEZ, parking. Nothing more. Legally carpooling, not hire and reward. Designed that way from day one.
🔒 Every transaction tied to a verified identity - no cash, no anonymity
Nobody signs up with an email and disappears. Every person on Hitch is a real, verified human being. No exceptions.
The waitlist is live at hitchapp.co.uk - founding members are already in.
If the daily journey shouldn't cost this much, you know what to do. 🚗
