85%+ Driver Net Pay
Drivers are the heartbeat of our platform. By offering Britain’s most generous commission retention, we ensure drivers take home what they deserve, keeping service standards peerless.
Our Story & Heritage
Rooted in the South Coast. Built for people, not algorithms.
MapCars was founded in Chichester with a clear purpose: to give passengers dependable, fair-priced journeys and give drivers Britain's most respectful, high-retention ride-sharing platform. We're uniting 13 coastal communities from Southampton to Brighton.
Headquartered in Chichester, West Sussex
Who we are
A platform with local roots & national standards
MapCars is operated by MAP CARS CHI LTD (Company Registration in England and Wales), headquartered in the cathedral city of Chichester. We are building the transport network that our region has always deserved — connecting 13 towns across Hampshire and West Sussex with the same uncompromising promise: safe rides, upfront fares, and a friendly, local face behind the wheel.
Unlike distant tech giants that treat drivers as anonymous numbers and passengers as surge-pricing targets, we live, drive, and raise our families right here on the South Coast. We know the coastal routes, the railway connections, the hospital runs, and the seafront corridors because this is our home.

What we stand for
The six pillars behind every MapCars journey
These aren't empty slogans — they dictate our platform commissions, algorithmic dispatch rules, safety protocols, and driver partnerships every single day.
Zero Surge Gouging
The price you see when you book is the exact price you pay. No sudden 3x multiplier surprises when it starts to rain or after a concert lets out.
Verified Safety Standards
Every vehicle and driver is fully licensed by local authorities, enhanced DBS-checked, and equipped with live GPS tracking and instant in-app SOS sharing.
Direct Local Accountability
Headquartered in Chichester. When you reach out to our team, you speak with real people in Hampshire and West Sussex who understand local transport needs.
Intelligent Coastal Routing
Our dispatch engine is tailored specifically for the South Coast road network, linking rail stations, hospital hubs, and coastal corridors efficiently.
Greener Coastline Miles
Smart route clustering cuts empty deadhead miles along the A27/M27 corridors, reducing carbon footprint while protecting our seaside air.

Founder & CEO Spotlight
Sheikh M A Noor
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
MAP CARS CHI LTD • Chichester, UK
“We built MapCars because the South Coast was neglected by national conglomerates. Drivers were giving up a third of their earnings, while riders faced unpredictable prices and distant customer service. We are proving that a ride-sharing service can be profitable, technologically advanced, and deeply ethical all at once.”
