Verified before the first trip
Phone, email, National ID, driving license, and car papers are all checked before anyone shares a ride. Verification is the floor, not a badge you earn later.
About SAFER
Whether you are heading home for the weekend, driving to the coast, or making the same trip you make every week. SAFER connects car owners and passengers traveling the same route at the same time. Verified accounts, fair prices, and a smarter way to travel across Egypt.
Our story
The idea came to us the same way it comes to most Egyptians. We were trying to travel. Visit family, go to the coast, get somewhere outside Cairo. Egypt has over 100 million people, more than 11 million registered cars on its roads, and Egyptian Railways alone serves over 400 million passenger trips every year. The demand is enormous. But the experience of actually getting somewhere, especially outside the major cities, is still overcrowded buses, unreliable schedules, and microbuses that barely cover the routes you need.
We looked into it and found that carpooling in Egypt was already happening, just without any structure. We all know someone who has shared a ride with a friend to avoid traveling alone, or caught a lift because someone was already going the same way. It happens every day, informally, through group chats and phone calls. SAFER is simply that same thing, done properly. Verified accounts, payments inside the app, and every trip tracked from start to finish.
Egypt has always traveled together. We just made it safer.

What makes us different
Phone, email, National ID, driving license, and car papers are all checked before anyone shares a ride. Verification is the floor, not a badge you earn later.
Top up by card, mobile wallet, or cash at any OPay store, then pay from your balance. Refunds go straight back to your wallet. No haggling over change at the door.
Ratings and trip history build up over time, so the people you travel with aren't anonymous. They come with a track record you can check before you book.
Car owners post routes they're already driving and earn on the empty seats. Pricing is auto-calculated from distance and fuel, and earnings land in a wallet they can cash out to the bank.
