Cotravel

We seek to make taxi journeys cheaper by matching up individuals with to share the cost of taking a taxi to the same or nearby destination. We endeavour to work with reputable and local licensed taxi companies who can provide a convenient service for much less.

Sharing cabs is common practice around the world, but in the UK it can be hard to arrange when travelling on your own. How do you meet people you can share a taxi with, how do you agree on a departure time and where will you meet? Sharing a taxi is appealing nonetheless as you can substantially reduce your travelling costs. So how do you connect travellers who have never met before?

We solve this problem with an online platform where travellers can register their interest in travelling at a specific time to a specific destination. Travellers can see other travellers they can share a taxi with, agree on a place and a time to meet. Co Travel will extend this matchmaking functionality over time to aid travellers and make their journey more comfortable by offering online payment support, automatic scheduling of return journeys, etc. All of this will be offered through an easy to use online application that anyone with a mobile device can use on their journey.

Let's support local taxis by making the taxi a realistic and affordable option for public transport.
