How it works · one marketplace, two sides
Travellers get price discovery. Vehicle owners get direct demand.
No hotel desk quotes. No WhatsApp chains. No middleman taking the margin out of the middle.
For travellers
Post the trip you actually need
Route, dates, passenger count, vehicle preference. Takes a minute, costs nothing, works before you land.
Compare real bids side by side
Price, owner profile, vehicle details, ratings and trip history — all in one view, all from NIC-verified owners.
Confirm and travel with a record
The agreed price and itinerary are on record in the app, with support behind it if anything moves.
For vehicle owners
Get verified once
Name, contact details, home city and NIC — checked by our team once. SLTDA-registered? Add your number to your bids and stand out to tourists. One profile lists every vehicle you own.
Bid your own price
See live trip requests, pick the ones that fit your route and calendar, and quote what the job is worth to you.
Get hired — and keep the fare
Push notifications the moment a traveller posts or accepts. No agency skim between you and the passenger.
The bidding screen
One trip. Three real offers. Your call.

Any trip, short or long
The same bidding mechanic scales across every kind of ground transport travellers actually ask for.
Airport pickups
Locked-in price before your flight lands. No arrivals-hall negotiation.
Day tours
Sigiriya, Galle, tea country — owners quote per day with stops included.
Long-distance hires
Multi-day itineraries with one vehicle, one agreed fare, no per-leg haggling.
Specialist vehicles
Tuk-tuks, wheelchair access, surf racks, big groups — ask, and owners answer.
Verified & trusted drivers
Every owner on Let’s Ride is verified and identified
The alternative to an unvetted contact from a random WhatsApp group isn’t a bigger platform fee — it’s documentation, ratings, and a moderated marketplace.
