What is a lift?

The word "lift" dates back to the Middle Ages when most people walked. If someone was walking up a steep hill or mountain and a wagon passed them, they would often be offered a lift. Not having to walk would also make that person happy, or "lift" their spirits.

So "lifts' existed hundreds of years before the automobile was even thought of! Lifts in the middle ages may have been by horse and cart or even just a horse. Nowadays a lift can be on any form of transport - cars, motorbikes, boats, buses, rickshaws and more!

"When you offer a lift you not only help someone you also make them happy".

How to use Localift

Millions of lifts happen every week without an easy way of arranging them

  • Lifts to school and sport
  • Car pooling to work, school or college
  • Lifts for the elderly and people with disabilities
  • Organising friends for shared taxi rides
Around the world commuting is dominated by driver only cars causing major traffic congestion. Research indicates around 25% of morning rush hour traffic is attributable to parents driving their children to school. Localift's App makes carpools to school and sport easy!

Your safety is important

  • Lifts are with people you know, friends, family and colleagues
  • Lift groups are private. You can only join a lift group by invitation or by creating a lift group of your own with people you trust
  • All lifts are tracked so you always know where your loved ones are if they are travelling with someone else
  • If you find someone in your lift group that you do not know or trust you can block them. They will never see your lift requests for offers and you will not see theirs.
Arrange who drives when for the whole season, or just the game. All lifts are scheduled in Localift's calendar and notifications ensure you never forget a lift!
Localift's live tracking and notifications ensures you always know where loved ones are. Be ready to greet them on arrival or know they've safely reached their destination.

Localift makes it easy to organise who's driving when. No more multiple texts and missed messages. More money in your pocket to spend on fun times!

Localift for work

Companies can promote and encourage ride sharing in the workplace, connecting employees living and working in similar locations, involved in common projects, or regularly travelling to airports or between campuses.

Localift's ride sharing App makes it easy to offer and request rides with colleagues. You can use Localift if you are driving, or to co-ordinate who needs to be picked up where, when booking a taxi. No more emails or multiple texts.

Organising a client event and booking a bus or taxi? Use Localift to book who will be travelling. The Offer Lift function makes it easy to co-ordinate how many seats are available. Attendees simply accept the Offer and let you know where they would like to be picked up. Localift does the rest!

By considering who else is travelling the same way, employees have the ability not only to save money on petrol, tolls, parking and taxis but also play their part in social and corporate sustainability. Cars looking for car parks can represent around 30% of congestion in cities and create 10% of CO2 emissions!

Localift for the elderly and people with disabilities

If you have a disability that prevents you from driving, create lift groups with family and friends who are happy to support you.

You can also set up a lift group with disability taxi drivers and use Localift to book your lift requests directly with drivers you know. Localift's geo mapping and tracking means you can share where you are and let others know your time of arrival.

If you're a carer for a person with a disability, you can link your friend or family member to your Membership as a "Linked Passenger". You can request lifts on their behalf and engage family, friends and carers to help you with the driving.
