Our services

Gareeda is not a hail-a-cab app. It is a monthly subscription built around a schedule that repeats — the school gate at 07:45, the office at 08:30, the campus at 09:00, and the trips in between.

Get the app
Core service

Monthly school transport

Book a driver for a full month on your own weekly schedule. Outbound and return legs, handled automatically.

For work

Employee & staff commutes

The same monthly booking for adults going to work — fixed pickup, fixed hour, no fare to negotiate each morning.

For students

University & student rides

Students book for themselves, search monthly routes already heading to campus, and request a seat in a few taps.

Cost-effective

Shared rides

Join an existing route going your way and split the monthly cost. Cheaper for you, fuller for the driver.

Exclusive

Private rides

The whole car for you or your children only. Exclusive pickup, exclusive schedule, no other passengers.

One-off

Picnic & group trips

One-off group rides for family outings, class trips, team days and weekend picnics — with stops and a fixed price.

For drivers

Driver marketplace

Drivers browse unassigned bookings nearest first, request the ones they want, and build a stable monthly income.

How it works

This is the real booking wizard — same order, same choices, same screens. A progress bar at the top, one decision per step, and a Confirm & Book at the end.

Next Step

Ride Preferences

01

Ride Preferences

Pick the frequency (Monthly or Picnic), the service class (Shared or Private) and your driver preference. The app reveals these one group at a time, so you never face three questions at once.

02

Passengers

Tap to add whoever is riding — yourself, your children, or both. Everyone you have saved before is already there, so this step is usually two taps.

03

Locations

Set a pickup and drop-off for each passenger. Turn on “Same pickup for everyone” to apply one address to the whole booking, or pick from your saved places or the map.

04

Schedule

Choose your date range, then the days you ride — with Sat–Wed and Sun–Thu presets. Times are the arrival and finish times, not pickup times; the driver plans the pickup around them.

05

Order Summary

Choose how you pay (cash to the driver or credit), monthly or in full, add a promo code, and see the full price breakdown before you tap Confirm & Book.

Features

Every detail below exists because a parent, a student or a driver asked for it.

Live trip tracking

Follow the car on the map for each outbound and return leg.

Verified drivers

Identity documents, vehicle papers and profile reviewed before a driver can drive.

Same-gender matching

Prefer a male or female driver? Filter for it and only see matching rides.

Transparent pricing

A clear monthly breakdown — distance, passengers, days. No surprise fares.

Wallet & invoices

Per-passenger invoices, payment history and balances, all inside the app.

In-app chat

Message your driver directly. No phone-number swapping required.

Off-days & absences

Mark a sick day or a holiday and the month is recalculated fairly.

QR join codes

Share a booking code or QR and let others request a seat on your route.

Ratings & reviews

Rate every driver after a trip. Good drivers rise, bad ones don't last.

Smart notifications

Push alerts for approvals, arrivals, payments and schedule changes.

Three languages

Full Kurdish, Arabic and English — right-to-left layout included.

Schools & workplaces

School managers and organisers get their own view of routes, riders and benefits.

Trust & safety

Gareeda's safety model is built into the product, not bolted on as a policy page.

Every driver is verified

ID, licence and vehicle documents are reviewed by our team before approval.

You approve who drives

No driver is assigned to your child without your explicit approval.

Names stay private

Passenger names and contacts are only revealed once a driver is assigned.

Every trip is logged

Start, pickup, drop-off and completion events are timestamped and auditable.

Loved by families

I used to call a different driver every week. Now it's the same car, the same time, and I get a notification the second she's at school.

I found a shared route to the university that passes my street. It costs me a third of what I paid before.
KKarwan H.Student · Erbil
I fill my car for the whole month instead of hunting for passengers every morning. The settlements are clear.
AAko S.Driver · Erbil
Being able to pick a female driver for my daughter was the reason I switched. Everything else was a bonus.
NNasreen M.Parent · Erbil
Six of us from the office share one monthly booking now. Same driver, same hour, one price — and nobody argues about the fare at 8am.

FAQ

Pricing is based on distance, the number of passengers, the days you travel and whether the ride is shared or private. You see the full breakdown before you confirm — nothing is added later.

Download Gareeda, add your passengers — your children or yourself — and book the whole month in about five minutes.
