RoadRate

Choose Rate, not Rage

Why RoadRate?

Have you ever been perplexed by a neighbor that continuously parks in a way that blocks you from using an otherwise perfectly viable space?

With RoadRate, you can find their license plate, rate it, and leave an anonymous review.

What about that time you relied on the help of a stranger for a jump?

You can use RoadRate to publically acknowledge how impactful the kindness of strangers can be.

Our team developed RoadRate so that drivers can communicate with each other about the road. With a simple click of a button you can get your points across anonymously.

What is RoadRate?

RoadRate is a social platform for reviewing your fellow drivers and seeing how well your own plate's *RoadRate. Register license plates, browse/search/post reviews, and build up your karma score to let other's know you're a great driver. RoadRate was founded to safely and anonymously encourage quality road etiquette for the over 220 million drivers currently licensed in America.

*RoadRate encourages positive reviews for enviable driving skills and random acts of kindness, and as such, honest negative reviews where there is room for improvement and need are also encouraged.

For version 2, we want to incorporate a tipping feature to encourage rewards for good driving.
