You're going anyway. Let the trip pay for itself.

Most journeys leave with room to spare. Carry one verified parcel along a route you're already taking and cover your fuel, your fare, or a good deal more.

Why carry

Income on your terms — not a gig shift

No targets, no schedules, no manager. You publish trips you were making regardless and accept only what you're comfortable with.

Zero marginal cost

The ticket is already bought and the seat is already yours. Everything a parcel earns on that journey is upside on a trip you were making anyway.

Payment already secured

Money sits in escrow before you collect the parcel. You'll see a green “payment secured” badge — so you're never chasing anyone for cash after the fact.

You vet every parcel

Declared contents, weight, value and the sender's trust score are all visible before you accept — and you can still inspect and refuse at pickup.

Fast settlement

Escrow releases the moment the delivery OTP is entered. Funds typically reach your verified bank account within 24 hours.

Build a trust score

Every clean delivery raises your score. A higher score means better matches, more requests and the ability to command a higher rate.

Independent, always

You're not our employee or agent. There's no obligation to accept anything, and going quiet for a month costs you nothing.

What could one parcel be worth?

Move the sliders to model a trip you actually make. These are indicative figures to help you judge whether it's worth your while.

Delhi–Jaipur is ~280 km · Mumbai–Bengaluru is ~980 km

Most parcels on the platform sit between 1 and 5 kg

Bulk costs a traveller more than weight does, so size affects the rate.

Getting started

From sign-up to first payout

1

Verify yourself

Phone, email, a government photo ID with a selfie match, and a bank account in your own name. One-time, and usually done in a few minutes.

2

Publish a trip

Route, date, how you're travelling and how much space you can spare. Requests start arriving from senders on that corridor.

3

Carry and get paid

Accept what suits you, collect with an OTP, deliver with an OTP. Escrow releases and settlement lands within about a day.

Traveller questions

What travellers ask us most

Am I liable if a parcel turns out to contain something illegal?

The sender is solely responsible for what they declare and what they hand over, and they accept that in writing on every booking. That said, you are the person physically carrying the parcel — so protect yourself: always inspect before sealing, never accept anything that doesn't match the declaration, and refuse anything you're not comfortable with.

Every shipment has a digital manifest in the app — the sender's verified identity, their declaration, the booking and the OTP trail — which you can produce if you're ever questioned. This is exactly why carrying off-platform is a bad idea.

What if the parcel is damaged while I'm carrying it?

The pickup photograph establishes the parcel's condition when you took it. Raise it in-app before the handover is confirmed and our review of the photos, OTP timestamps and trip log decides how the escrowed money is applied. Platform protection — cover that sits on top of escrow so an accident doesn't land on you — is being built and is not live yet. Deliberate damage, opening a sealed parcel, or handing it to a third party will never be covered.

Do I have to declare this income?

Yes. You're an independent individual earning income, not our employee, so your tax position is your own. We provide a downloadable earnings statement to make that straightforward. We can't give tax advice — speak to a qualified professional about your circumstances.

Can I carry more than one parcel per trip?

Yes, within the capacity you published and any limits set by your airline, railway or other operator. Each parcel is a separate booking with its own OTPs, its own tracking and its own payout. Keep them clearly separated so you never mix up a handover.

What if I have to cancel my trip?

Cancel in the app as early as you can — the sender is refunded in full and we help them re-match. Life happens and an occasional cancellation is fine, but a pattern of late cancellations lowers your trust score and can lead to suspension. Cancelling after you've already collected the parcel is treated far more seriously.
