Hitchhyke is a Jamaican app to find rides, jobs, places, events, trusted professionals, and more. We help you get around, get things done, and find things to do — all in one app.
We're starting with rideshare, with jobs, professionals, events, and more on the way.
How Rideshare Works

- For Riders: Open the app, enter your pickup and drop-off locations, choose your ride type, and get matched with a driver. Track your ride in real time and pay with cash or card.
- For Drivers: Sign up, verify your documents, and go online when ready to accept rides. Set your own per-mile/kilometer rate and manage preferences like ride radius and payment methods.
