Service area questions, answered

Lismore, Goonellabah, Ballina, Casino, Alstonville, Wollongbar, Kyogle, Nimbin, Lennox Head and Bangalow — plus the communities between them.
My town isn't on the list. Can you still reach me?
Possibly. We're starting with the towns above and expanding as more local drivers join the platform. Ask us — if you're in the Northern Rivers, chances are we can get to you.
Do you charge more for town-to-town trips?
Longer regional runs cost more because they cover more distance, but they are quoted upfront before you travel — a regional trip never comes with a mystery fare. Your exact fare appears in the app before you confirm.
Can I book a one-way trip between two towns?
Yes. Casino to Lismore, Alstonville to the airport, Nimbin to a Lismore gig — town-to-town travel is a large part of what we do.
