Rideshare to games with our new feature on the Brentford FC app
Driving to the game? Share the journey with other Bees fans to make your journey more affordable.
The Brentford FC official app now includes ridesharing tool operated by Slinger that allows fans to offer spare seats to fellow Brentford fans, reducing costs of the journey and the environmental impact of travel.
Using this new feature, fans can offer and book available seats for rides to and from matches. Simply agree the shared cost up front and then use the app to coordinate departure time and pickup location.
Click the following links for a simple step-by-step guide on offering rides as a driver, or finding rides as a passenger.
If you’re a passenger looking for a lift and none are available or you’re looking for one closer to you, join the waitlist and you’ll be notified as lifts become available.
When using the Slinger rideshare tool, please know that:
Slinger is strictly for over 18s only.
The tool will put drivers and passengers in touch with each other. Offers and requests for rides can be made and personal information (for example, location to organise pick-up) will be shared with both parties if the driver accepts a ride request.
Ride share payments can be made online using Slinger, or in person
Slinger cannot be used to make a profit on a journey and can only be used to share the cost of a journey. Slinger will automatically calculate a suggested contribution per passenger based on the length of your trip using HM Revenue and Customs' Approved Mileage Payment Allowance. The cost is capped and can only be reduced from this point. Breaching the no-profit rule will risk legally invalidating your car insurance and make driving your car illegal.*
Neither Brentford FC or slinger insure or vet users' driving competency.
The trial period has now closed for this scheme, but we continue to welcome feedback & hear about your journeys. Please get in touch at [email protected].
Find the feature on the Brentford FC app and follow the instructions to get set up with a photo and bio for your profile.

*The cost cap feature presents a suggested maximum price for sharing the cost of a journey with the aim of protecting drivers from breaching the terms of their car insurance. Protection from breach is not guaranteed and it is solely the driver's responsibility to ensure that a profit is not made on a journey.
Travel Together
While the club already runs official coach services from Gtech Community Stadium, we understand that many fans would prefer to travel directly from their local areas.
We also know that travelling with like-minded fans, whether it’s families or fellow locals, makes the journey even more enjoyable.
This initiative aims to:
Help fans form local groups to arrange independent coach or minibus travel
Provide guidance and promotional support to connect fans in your area
Provide fans with transport and logistical advice for matchday
How to get involved
Are you interested in joining a local travel group in your area?
Do you want to help organise and coordinate a fan group near you?
Do you know others, or want to know others, who live near you who’d be interested too?
If so, we want to hear from you!
Whether you’d like to lead a local group or simply join one, this is your chance to play a part in creating a stronger, more connected Bees community.
Simply complete our Travel Together form to register your interest. We’ll then gather responses and help kick-start groups in areas where there’s enough demand.
We’ll review responses to identify areas with the most interest, reach out to interested fans with further details and ultimately support local groups with advice and promotion to get started.
