About PICKUP
Making airport travel affordable and accessible for the 5C community
No student should pay $100+ for a solo ride to LAX. While the Claremont Colleges sometimes provide shuttles, they're often limited. That's where PICKUP comes in.
We're a student-led team making travel more affordable and accessible for the 5C community. Our platform matches students with similar flight plans so you can share rides and split costs.
The idea for PICKUP was born out of personal frustration. After struggling to find affordable airport transportation ourselves, we realized there was a better solution waiting to be built. With the help of our loving and dedicated engineering team, we've been working on this platform throughout the year.
Whether it's your first ride or your fiftieth, we hope PICKUP makes your journey a little easier.
