About us

SheRyde is a proudly women-led South African e-hailing and lifestyle mobility platform created to deliver safe, dignified, premium and inclusive transport solutions. Born from the lived experiences of women who deserve to feel safe — not only in their homes and workplaces, but also in transit — SheRyde was built to solve a real and urgent need for women-focused, women-prioritised mobility.

Our platform draws inspiration from global safety-first brands while remaining deeply rooted in the realities of South African women. Although our positioning champions women’s empowerment, SheRyde remains an inclusive service welcoming all riders and both male and female drivers, similar to how First for Women Insurance operates — women-first in ethos, universal in access.

Vision

A South Africa where every woman moves freely, confidently, and safely, without fear, and with access to equal economic and mobility opportunities.

Mission

To empower women by providing safe, reliable, accessible, and premium mobility, supported by technology-driven solutions that create economic opportunities and enhance everyday movement.

Core Values

  • Safety — Every feature is designed to protect riders and drivers.
  • Empowerment — Creating meaningful, sustainable earning opportunities.
  • Inclusivity — Serving all users while uplifting women at the centre.
  • Innovation — Using technology to redefine safe mobility.
  • Community — Building a supportive, trust-driven ecosystem.

Safety Philosophy

Safety is not a feature — it is the foundation of SheRyde.
Our approach  integrates:

  • Real-time tracking
  • SOS emergency features (powered by Casi)
  • Identity verification
  • Background checks
  • 24/7 monitoring
  • Women-to-women ride matching at no extra cost

We believe that safe mobility is a human right, and our systems are built to ensure riders and drivers feel protected at every stage of the journey.

Women-First Positioning

  • While SheRyde is inclusive to everyone, our core identity places women first:
  • Women riders can request verified drivers
  • Women receive priority in support, safety, and matching
  • Women have flexible earning opportunities
  • Safety innovation is designed around women’s lived experiences

This positioning differentiates SheRyde as South Africa’s premier women-led mobility platform.
