Carpool and rideshare across Perth

Perth is the most isolated city on earth, which means long, expensive drives whenever you leave. RideMates connects you with drivers heading to Margaret River, Albany, Kalgoorlie, and every weekend south-west run, so you can split the fuel bill on the Kwinana and Albany Highways.

Why Perth

Built for the way Perth moves

Long-haul rides without long-haul prices

WA's distances are brutal. Splitting the fuel on a 4-hour south-west run with two passengers can knock 60% off the cost.

Mining town commutes

Drivers regularly post rides between Perth and Kalgoorlie, Newman, Port Hedland, and Karratha. A seat in a carpool beats a charter ticket on most rosters.

Wine country weekends

Margaret River and the Swan Valley fill up every Friday night. Plenty of drivers post empty seats back to the city on Sunday afternoon.
