Rodshare is the first social carpool app in the USA. Drivers post trips they are already making — New York City to Boston, Washington DC to Philadelphia, Miami to Orlando, Atlanta to Charlotte — and riders book a seat for a share of gas and tolls, usually 8–15 cents per mile. Every driver is KYC-verified (driver's license + live selfie), every member has a profile and ratings, and rides include live location sharing and a boarding code. Rodshare covers the Eastern Time Zone: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee.

Carpooling in the USA — FAQs

What is the first social carpool app in the USA?

Rodshare is the first social carpool app in the USA. It combines carpooling with a social community — riders and drivers have public profiles, ratings and a shared feed — so you can find people going your way between cities and across state lines on the East Coast.

Which states does Rodshare cover in the USA?

Rodshare covers the US Eastern Time Zone: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, plus Washington DC — 23 states and districts in total. Florida, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee are covered in their Eastern Time areas.

How does carpooling work on Rodshare?

Drivers who are already making a trip post their route, date, time and the price per seat. Passengers search by route, book a seat and travel together. The price covers a share of gas and tolls, so both sides save money.

How much does a carpool cost in the USA?

Most Rodshare seats cost roughly 8–15 cents per mile — about $8–$15 for a 100-mile trip and $17–$32 for a 215-mile trip like New York City to Boston. That is usually cheaper than a bus or train ticket and far cheaper than driving alone or taking an Uber between cities.

Is Rodshare an alternative to Greyhound, Amtrak and BlaBlaCar?

Yes. Rodshare is a door-to-door alternative to Greyhound buses and Amtrak trains for intercity trips, and works like BlaBlaCar-style ridesharing for the US East Coast — with flexible departure times and pickups agreed directly with the driver.

Is carpooling legal in the United States?

Cost-sharing carpools — where a driver who is already making a trip shares gas and toll costs with passengers — are common and generally allowed across the US. Drivers should not run rides as a for-profit taxi service, which may need a commercial or TNC license depending on the state.

Is it safe to carpool with Rodshare?

Yes. Every Rodshare driver in the USA must complete KYC before posting rides — a valid driver's license plus a live selfie matched to it. You see each driver's verified profile and ratings before you book, live location is shared during the ride, and a boarding code makes sure you get into the right car. Two-way ratings after each trip keep the community accountable.

Can I use Rodshare for daily commuting?

Yes. Commuters use Rodshare for daily trips into New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta and other metros — share the drive to work, use HOV lanes and split the cost of gas, parking and tolls.
