About the app
UniRide makes everyday campus travel simpler, more coordinated, and more reliable.
UniRide is a ride-sharing app designed for campus and community transportation. It gives verified users one place to offer rides, request seats, review ride participation, and manage upcoming or completed trips without scattered chats or manual coordination.
The app solves a common problem for students and local commuters: arranging trusted rides quickly. Instead of relying on fragmented group messages, users get a dedicated workflow for ride discovery, approval, trip status, communication, and notifications.
Features
Everything users need to coordinate rides inside the app.
UniRide is structured around real ride-sharing actions, from setup and matching to approval, communication, and trip history.
Request a ride
Riders can browse relevant trips, request to join, and see ride details before submitting a seat request.
Ride approval flow
Drivers can approve or decline ride requests so participation is intentional, visible, and easy to manage.
My Rides management
Users can review upcoming and past rides, monitor statuses, and keep track of ride activity over time.
In-app notifications
Ride-related notifications keep users updated on requests, approvals, reminders, status changes, and important trip events.
Ride chat

FAQ
Common support questions.
I can’t verify my university email. What should I do?
Make sure you used your valid university email address and check your inbox or spam folder for the verification message. If the email still does not arrive, contact support with your university domain and the address you tried to use.
How do ride approvals work?
When a rider requests a seat, the driver can review the request and approve or decline it inside the app. Approved riders should receive updated ride details and relevant notifications.
Why does UniRide request location access?
Location may be used for ride matching, route display, pickup and drop-off coordination, and other trip-related features. If a user disables location permissions, some parts of the app may not work fully.
How can I request account or data deletion?
Users can contact privacy@uniride.app to request access, correction, or deletion of their personal data, subject to applicable law and verification requirements.
