LarkRide Open the app
Ride app

Name your fare. Get there.

Offer a price, see replies from drivers nearby, and pick the one you like. Everyday rides, school runs and courier. Paid in cash, with no tips and no hidden fees.

Free to use. Runs in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to download from a store.

How it works

Three steps, your price

  1. 1

    Say where you're going

    Set your pickup on the map and choose your destination. Your position comes from your phone.

  2. 2

    Name your fare

    We show a recommended fare for the distance. Start there and adjust it. A fair-fare floor keeps every offer above fuel and running costs.

  3. 3

    Ride and pay in cash

    Pick the driver you like, watch them arrive on the map, message or call inside the app for free, and pay cash at the end.

Rides

A ride for every need

  • Everyday

    Rides around town

    Standard trips at a price you and the driver agree on.

  • School runs

    Verified drivers only

    Only drivers we have verified can take a school run. The parent gets a 4-digit code to give the child, and the trip can't start until the driver enters it.

  • Courier

    Send a parcel

    Get a package across town with a driver, at an agreed price.

For drivers

94%

Keep 94% of every fare

One flat 6% platform fee on every ride. Nothing else is taken.

  • You name your price

    See the passenger's offer and accept it, or reply with your own.

  • A fair-fare floor

    Offers can't drop below the cost of fuel and wear on your car.

  • Cash in your hand

    Passengers pay you directly at the end of the trip. The 6% fee is taken from a small prepaid balance in the app.

  • Checked before you drive

    Add your car details, photo, ID, licence, registration certificate and car photos. We review them before you can take rides.

See your driver, their car and number plate before you ride, and follow the trip live on the map.

  • Share your ride. Send trip details to someone you trust in one tap.
  • SOS button. Always on the trip screen for riders and drivers.
  • Message and call inside the app. Free, and your number stays private until a live trip.
  • School runs only with verified drivers and a 4-digit code.

Questions

Good to know

How do I pay?

In cash, directly to the driver at the end of the trip. There are no cards to add and no tips to think about.

How does naming my fare work?

You see a recommended fare for your distance. Offer that or adjust it, and nearby drivers can accept or reply with their own price. You choose the reply you like. A fair-fare floor keeps every offer above fuel and running costs.

What does LarkRide charge?

Riders pay only the fare they agree with the driver. Drivers pay a flat 6% platform fee on each completed ride, taken from a prepaid balance in the app.

How do school runs stay safe?

Only drivers we have verified can take a school run. The parent gets a 4-digit code and gives it to the child. The trip can't start until the driver enters it.

How do I become a driver?

Open the app, switch to Driver, and add your car details plus five documents: your photo, ID, licence, vehicle registration certificate and car photos. We review them before you can take rides.

Do messages and calls cost anything?

Messages and voice calls inside the app are free. They use your mobile data or Wi-Fi, not airtime.

Do I need to install anything from a store?

No. LarkRide runs in your phone's browser and can be added to your Home Screen so it opens like any other app.

Who can see my location?

Riders share their pickup point when they ask for a ride. Drivers share their live position only while they are online or on a trip.
