🇧🇷 Este site não é destinado à prospecção comercial. No entanto, se você já tem um cliente, fique à vontade para compartilhar o site com ele. Assim, outros kitesurfistas podem se juntar à viagem, ajudando a otimizar o trajeto e a dividir melhor os custos.

Além disso, desde dezembro de 2025, após o interesse de vários motoristas / empresas de transfers, lançamos um programa piloto para ajudar motoristas profissionais selecionados a preencher suas viagens de retorno vazias, oferecendo preços reduzidos. Se você tem interesse em participar desse programa, entre em contato por email em contact@shared-transfers-nordeste.com ou pelo Instagram @shared_transfers_nordeste ANTES de criar uma conta. Obrigado pela compreensão!

🇬🇧 This website is not meant for commercial prospecting. However, if you already have a client, you are welcome to share the site with them. That way, other kitesurfers can join the ride, helping to optimize the trip and share the costs more efficiently.

Also, since December 2025, following interest from several drivers, we've launched a pilot program to help selected professional drivers fill their empty-return trips by posting offers at a reduced price. If you're interested in joining this program, please reach out by email at contact@shared-transfers-nordeste.com or on Instagram @shared_transfers_nordeste BEFORE creating an account. Thank you for your understanding!

No! The platform is 100% free. We just connect travelers—no bookings or payments happen on the site.

This platform started as a way to share the founder's own transfers during a long stay in Brazil in 2025. Turns out it works so well, we want to make it permanent! To help it keep running, we're piloting a system where professional drivers pay us a fee to post offers to fill in their empty return trips.

The way we see it, it's a win-win-win: drivers find customers for return legs that would otherwise run empty, riders get reduced prices, and it helps cover the project's operating costs. Riders never pay to use the site. No ads, no selling your data either.

Got other ideas to make this sustainable? We'd love to hear them — reach out at contact@shared-transfers-nordeste.com or on Instagram @shared_transfers_nordeste 🙏

The best way is to first check if a transfer already exists for your desired date. If not, just post your own transfer. If someone is planning the same trip, they’ll contact you and you’ll be notified by email. You don't need to have a car to post a transfer, it just means you are looking for a co-rider.

In addition, when you post your transfer you can opt in to be notified if a professional driver in our pilot program posts an empty-return offer that covers your trip — meaning a driver already hired for the outbound trip offers spare seats at a reduced price on their way back, since that return leg would otherwise run empty.

You’ll receive an email from us with their email adress. It's then up to you to contact them and arrange transfer. When you use our service for the first time, please check your spam : if needed mark our welcome email as non spam. Otherwise you will miss the notifications if someone wants to share your transfer!

If you're no longer looking for co-riders on the planned route/date, please delete your transfer from the "My activity" menu at the top of the page — this avoids giving other riders false hope of joining.

Otherwise, you can edit your transfer at any time from the same menu to keep other riders updated — whether you found a car, or just want to change details like number of travellers, boardbags, or constraints on departure time.

We don't run background checks and can't guarantee who you'll meet — please use your best judgment, just like with any other peer-to-peer platform.

A few tips: chat with the person first (WhatsApp/Instagram) before agreeing on a ride, meet in person at a public spot before departure whenever possible, and consider sharing your trip details with a friend or family member. If anything feels off, trust your instinct and walk away.

When someone expresses interest in your transfer, we send you their full name and email address so you can get in touch — and vice versa, once you express interest in someone else's transfer, they receive your full name and email address.

We don't share your information with anyone beyond that, and we don't sell or use it for advertising. See our Terms & Conditions for more details.

You can delete your account at any time by opening the dropdown menu from your initials at the top right of the page, clicking "My account", then clicking "Cancel my account" at the bottom. This action is definitive: your data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

If you'd rather just remove a specific transfer without deleting your whole account, you can do that from the "My activity" menu instead.

A kite lover with a background in product and web development, who booked too many transfers with empty seats across the Nordeste. Discussing with other riders, we found this was a common problem for many of us.

So we built this simple tool to help riders connect and share rides: save money, reduce carbon impact, and maybe meet cool people along the way!
