If you’re one of the many South Africans who travel long distances for work, study, or family, every trip can be an opportunity to earn extra income. With Crab A Ride, you can turn those empty seats in your car into real profit, without changing your routine or driving extra kilometres.
Crab A Ride is a simple ride-sharing platform that connects drivers with passengers heading in the same direction. Instead of traveling alone, you can share your ride, set your own price per seat, and get paid directly by passengers. It’s an easy, flexible way to reduce your fuel costs and even make money on the journeys you’re already taking.
The process is straightforward. When you’re planning a trip, simply upload your route on crabaride.co.za or send the details through our WhatsApp automated service at 0744219807. Set your price per seat based on what feels fair for your route and comfort level. Once your trip is live, passengers can browse, book, and contact you directly to arrange pickup points.
Each time someone books a seat, you’ll receive a WhatsApp message with their name, contact details, and trip information. You can communicate directly, confirm logistics, and travel with peace of mind knowing you’re supported by Crab A Ride every step of the way. You decide how you’d like to be paid — in cash at the end of the trip or through our secure payment system.
What makes Crab A Ride stand out is flexibility and control. You’re not tied to fixed fares or strict schedules. You choose your routes, your passengers, and your prices. Whether you drive between major cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg or shorter routes between towns, every kilometre can now work for you.
Beyond income, joining Crab A Ride helps you become part of a growing community of drivers who are redefining intercity travel in South Africa. Together, we’re making travel more affordable, sustainable, and community-driven, one shared trip at a time.
So the next time you’re planning a long-distance drive, don’t let those empty seats go to waste. Share your ride, connect with passengers, and make your journey pay for itself. Visit crabaride.co.za or message 0744 219 807 to upload your first trip today.
Crab A Ride, drive smart, earn more, and travel together.
