Saving Your Home and Work Address on Shareide

If you take the same ride to work or college most days, typing out the full address every time is one of those small frictions that adds up. Saved addresses fix that — you enter your home and work locations once, and after that, booking your regular commute is a matter of tapping a saved label instead of searching and pinning a location from scratch each morning. It sounds minor until you're standing outside in a rush and realise you'd rather not fumble through a map search at all.

Why this is worth setting up

Beyond the obvious time saving, saved addresses reduce the chance of booking mistakes — a mistyped street name or a pin dropped slightly off, which can mean a driver arriving at the wrong spot. For a route you take daily, getting it exactly right once and reusing it every time is simply more reliable than searching fresh each trip, especially if you're booking in a hurry before work.

How to save an address, step by step

• Open the app and go to your Profile or Account section, typically found in the bottom navigation.
• Look for a Saved Places or Addresses option. This is usually a dedicated section separate from your personal account details.
• Add a new address by searching for the location or dropping a pin on the map at the exact spot — your building entrance, gate, or usual pickup point.
• Label it clearly, typically with options like Home and Work already suggested, plus the ability to add a custom label for anywhere else you go regularly.
• Save it, and it should now appear as a quick option whenever you're booking a new ride, letting you skip the search step entirely.

It's worth double-checking the pin placement rather than relying only on the searched address, especially in areas where street numbering is inconsistent — a pin dropped a little off can send your driver to the wrong side of a building or a busy road. If your neighbourhood has a landmark that's easier to spot than your actual street name, it can help to place the pin near that landmark and add a note in the label so any driver reads it the same way you would.

Frequently asked questions

How many addresses can I save?

Most apps allow more than just Home and Work — check your Saved Places section for the option to add additional custom locations like a gym, a relative's house, or a regular drop-off point, each with its own custom label so it's easy to pick the right one at a glance.

Can I edit a saved address later?

Yes — if you move house or change offices, you can typically update the saved pin or search a new address without needing to delete and recreate the entry.

Does saving an address share my location with anyone?

Saved addresses are stored for your own use when booking rides and aren't shared publicly. For more on how your data and location are handled, see the safety features page or the FAQ.
