Student travel, reimagined
Share rides with verified students. Split the cost.
Drivers only for now. Be the first to know when we go live.
Built around trust
Every person on Flock — driver or passenger — must verify with a UK university .ac.uk email address before they can post or book a single ride. No exceptions. No workarounds.
That means every journey you take is shared exclusively with other students. Not the general public. Not strangers from the internet. Your people.
.ac.uk email verification
Every account requires a valid UK university email address. No .ac.uk, no account — on either side of the ride.
Verified profiles, not anonymous listings
Transparent profiles on both sides. See university, year of study, and rating before you commit. No anonymous listings. Every profile is tied to a real, verified student identity. Maybe even have mutual friends.
Two-way ratings after every ride
Drivers rate passengers. Passengers rate drivers. A reputation system that works because everyone has a real identity at stake.
Cost-sharing, not profit-making
Flock fares are capped by HMRC cost-sharing rules. Drivers recover fuel costs. This keeps everyone legal, insurance-valid, and protected.
Fewer empty seats. Lower emissions.
Most cars travelling between cities carry one person. Flock fills those empty seats — cutting per-person emissions and making the greener choice the cheaper one too.
How it works
Sign up with your university email. We verify you're a current UK student — that's the only requirement. Every single person on Flock has passed this same check.
Heading home for the holidays? Post your route and pick up passengers going your way. Need a lift? Find a driver already making your journey.
Fares are split fairly — you pay a fraction of the equivalent train fare. The driver covers their fuel. Flock takes a small booking fee. Everyone saves.

Hey! I'm Jamie. I drive home to Sheffield pretty regularly — usually heading back for weekends and holidays. Happy to stop off for snacks. Non-smoker, dog-free car.
