The trip that never quite happens.
Sky-high gas prices, a group chat that can't decide on a driver, or no car at all. Uber and Lyft aren't built for the long haul. They get you across town, not across the state. So the weekend getaway slips to next week, and then the week after that.
With Bound, the driver's already headed there. You book an open seat and split the real cost of the drive, capped at your fair share.
That's how the trip finally happens, riding with someone headed the same way.

FAQs
Do I need a car to ride?
No, riders just book a seat. Only drivers need a vehicle.
How are drivers verified?
Drivers attest to a valid U.S. license at signup, and Bound adds ID verification and ratings at launch.
How does payment work?
It's handled in the app, never in cash. Your fare is held securely through our payments partner and released to your driver once the trip is complete.
Where does Bound operate?
Bound is launching across California.
How do drivers offset gas?
Riders split the real cost of the drive. A full car can cover most of it — and every seat is capped at each person's fair share, never more.
