Introducing Nigeria 1st Car Sharing Website
www.sharemycar.com.ng
Share your Car today,
IT’S FREE, for enquiries Call 0704 482 7881

As explained elsewhere, the concept is simple:
Sharemycar is designed to reduce traffic on our roads, promote green travel by reducing carbon foot print. It provides a platform where people can pre-arrange to share a ride, both drivers and passengers. Drivers with access to a car advertise their route and passengers who use the same route can log-in a request to share car with anyone travelling down the same route. Both driver and passesnger live locally and pre-arrange to meet first and agree to share the journey. Cost and terms of the car share are agreed. The driver benefits by not only having a companion, but also someone to share the cost of fuel, the passenger benefits as he travels comfortably, the environment benefits as less pollution is discharged to the atmosphere , the economy benefits as less cars on the road. The government benefits and few cars are off the road.
The way it works is simple; you go to the site, www.sharemycar.com.ng and securely open an account and register your journey if you have access to a car. Those without access to a car, will request for a ride when registering on the site. People can search based on locality to find who travels on similar route and make contact.
The site is user friendly and uses google map interface so that users can identify the location with ease.
Go green today and share your car.

Thanks Millhouse for the comment. certainly ads are not the main issue, was put in there to occupy space. Building traffic is the priority.

Ha ha arm robber wil soon share a car with some one

How do you stop kidnappers from sharing the car?

Guy u gat a unique concept but u didnt do the homework very well because u are implementing a good business idea in a wrong location i.e nigeria as a country.

Dont u know that the security in nigeria is compromised?

i hope you wont be arrested one day just like the way the founder of liberty reserve were arrested and that sharemycar site would be shut down if its reported that people sharing cars and space on ur site are robbed.

Think about.....

Hi Oloyede,
There is no basis to compare what we are doing with liberty reserve which is an illegal business with online payment system dealing with currency. We don't deal with currency. We are are legitimate business serving both private and corporate organisations in Nigeria.

We have brought an innovative idea to reduce traffic on our roads by people sharing cars. I was watching the other day at Eko hotel roundabout, V/I where huge number of people were waiting to catch buses. I saw private car owners stopping and picking passengers for a fee. if they are afraid of kidnappers, they would not stop to pick people at the bus stop. Sharemycar.com.ng is therefore providing people a secure platform to exchange ride. There are safety tips on the website which encourages people to first meet in public places so you know the person well before you commence the journey.
Please note that you have not stopped using naira notes because there is counterfeit ones other there.The truth is that we have got to move forward as a country, we cannot remain where we are, held down by fear.

Go green today! share your car.

1stCitizen: How do you stop kidnappers from sharing the car?

You meet the person in public place first eg eateries.

barikay: Ha ha arm robber wil soon share a car with some one

No you will not meet robbers. You check out the person first. remember the person lives close to you so its easy to find out where the person works, or live etc. There huge number of legitimate, hard working Nigerians out there who will benefit from what we are offering. They are the ones I focus on at the moment. Let us not allow our mentality to be hounded with negatives.
Go green! share your car today!

Goodluck to u bro,
At least u safety guidelines u didn't say "God will not let us see arm robber or kidnapper, it not our portion" dat na typical nigerian mentality

bebe2: Goodluck to u bro,

Thank you my brother. We have got to do things in a professional way in this country and not become emotional which leads to mediocrity. We aim to be the best in what we have chosen to do.

naijacutee: This is a great idea, and I have started publicizing it for free. To add to the question about armed robbers, car owners and passengers could have a sign in feature, via which users of each individual service cav leave feedback. This would keep people in check, knowing that it would spoil their "business" as it were, if they messed up. Also, people can easily choose which car to use or not to use based on feedback ratings. Well done, bro!!

Naijacutee, thank you for your kindness in assisting to promote the site. We are also planning jingles in radio and distribution of fliers around Lagos so that it people can be informed. Keep the banner flying!

Does kidnapping in Nigeria happen in full public glare or not? So when we meet at the eatery, how can I search the person to be sure he is not carrying an offensive weapon?

You need to understand that Kidnapping is usually an inside job, not people you don't know and are meeting for the first time. The person you don't know cannot kidnap you. If not, then nobody will use public buses again as you can be kidnapped in the bus also. Finally, I will urge you to focus on the positives.

Nice Idea.

Although i think to reduce cases of robbery and what not all payments should be made online thereby making sure all persons involved in a transaction to share a vehicle is traceable to their bank id and all.

The meet before sharing is irrelevant. A robber would meet you and buy you moet infact. Your only assurance is being able to know that the company can on a need to basis track persons.

charcoalblaq: Nice Idea.

Thanks Charcoalblag, very positive contribution. Will discuss with my IT team.

You can advertise the business idea through www.adsolut.net . We are a startup too...

If you pitch for funding from investors in Western countries(maybe Nigeria is different), these are the first questions they will ask.

Erase the negatives so that the positives will reveal themselves. Kidnapping in Lagos in a random affair other than other states. What about armed robbery? I do not think its always an inside job. How do you tackle robbers?

Ist Citizen, do you live in Nigeria? many Nigerians who live abroad have this assumption that once you step out of your home, you will be kidnapped or attacked by Robbers. But those of us who live here know that its not true. Have you read the safety tips on the website? It is recommended you see one form of ID valid from each party.

I love this!!

The economy of it all, its eco-friendliness, the fun-ride it promises. And pychologically, one gets to the office in high spirits.

I like that your site is responsive. Very cool, I must say. As an online ad designer, I'll suggest you could infuse some user-centred visuals on your site, it takes it away from being flat to connecting with your users. Gives it life. sorry I had to mock-up one to drive home my point. Please see image attached. Please feel free to request the larger size or let me know where to send it. Thank you
