OMW! (On My Way) is a South African app for long-distance lift sharing between cities. Post a ride or find a lift, pay securely in escrow, and travel with ID-verified members and live tracking. Free to download.
OMW! Carpool is a peer-to-peer lift-sharing app built for long trips between South African cities. Drivers who are already making the journey — Pretoria to Polokwane, or through to Potchefstroom — list their route, date, available seats and a fare per seat. Riders heading the same way find the ride, request a seat and split the cost of fuel. It's the modern version of the South African lift club — with the trust and the money handled by the app.
When you're spending hours on the road with someone new — or letting a stranger into your car — the app you use matters. These are the things worth insisting on, and what OMW! provides:
Money should be held safely, not handed over upfront. OMW! holds the rider's payment in TradeSafe escrow and only releases it once boarding is confirmed.
You should know who you're travelling with. Every OMW! member verifies their identity before they can post or join a ride.
Someone should always be able to see where you are. OMW! trips can be tracked live from start to finish.
Drivers net their full fare; riders are refunded automatically if a driver no-shows or cancels.
Drivers list their route, time, seats and fare. Riders search for a lift heading their way.
The rider requests a seat; the driver accepts or declines.
The rider pays per seat, held safely in TradeSafe escrow.
At pickup the rider shows a 4-digit PIN to confirm the right person boarded.
Once boarding is confirmed, the fare is released to the driver's bank account.
Driver no-show or cancellation means an automatic refund for the rider.
OMW! is built for the long haul between South African cities:
