Zimride is an easy, money saving, and dynamic ride-sharing solution. Now carpooling is fun and reliable.

Since launching in 2007, Zimride’s ride-share solutions have served over 300,000 global users. What began as an experiment in sustainability on the east and west coast has quickly evolved into the world’s leading social online ride-sharing company. We currently work with companies, universities, bands, and municipalities around the globe. Our goal is to use social technology to maximize the efficiency of our transportation system and to reshape the way we think about transportation.

Our ride-sharing community is based on simple and intuitive software, which combines Google Maps, familiar social networking components, and our proprietary ride-matching algorithm. We hope that you will come on board with us as we expand the carpooling community and build a more sustainable transportation system. Get started now, and post your ride!
