Put them together and you get exactly what this is: a car buddy. Not a clever brand name. Just the plain thing, said in the language most of us actually speak at home.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop two pins

    Roughly where you live, roughly where you work. No addresses, no exact anything. A neighbourhood is plenty.

  2. 2

    We keep an eye out

    Then you can forget about us. The moment someone turns up going your way at your hour, we'll email you.

  3. 3

    You both say yes

    Numbers only change hands once you've both agreed. After that it's your conversation, not ours.

Why we built Lotokam

They call Mauritius paradise, and it is, right up until twenty to eight on the motorway. Thousands of us make the same trip at the same hour, each of us gloriously alone in a five-seater. Lotokam does one small thing about that: if your neighbour is already going your way, you should probably know.

One shared trip, one less car on the island

One less car in the queue

Every shared trip is a car that stays parked. Less traffic, cleaner air, and an island that still looks like the postcard.

Get your morning back

Nobody's life ambition is 'sit in traffic'. Swap the crawl for a chat, or a nap if you're the passenger.

Where the bus won't go

Not every village gets a good service, and no timetable ever asked what time your shift starts. Your neighbour's car, on the other hand, goes exactly where you're going.

A buddy, not just a lift

Traffic is dull. Traffic with good company is just a chat that happens to be moving. Plenty of friendships on this island started in the passenger seat.

What Lotokam does

Built and given away for exactly one reason: karma. The more people who use it, the more good vibes (karma) we earn.

That's it. That's the whole list.

What Lotokam doesn't do

  • Not a single cent passes through us. Ever.
  • We never store where you actually live. Not once.
  • No chat, no tracking, no nonsense. We introduce you, then we get out of the way.

Ready when you are

Two taps to sign in, two pins to set up. That really is the whole thing.
