Rubber Wheels
Shared transport across the Nordics
Shared transport — when the driver is going your way anyway
A sofa from Helsinki to Tampere? Cottage supplies across the country? Rubber Wheels matches you with a driver whose route already fits — typically 30–50 % cheaper than a traditional moving company.
What shared transport means
Shared transport is delivery by an ordinary person whose route happens to suit your item — not a separately hired transport company. The driver was going to Tampere over the weekend anyway, your sofa fits in their trailer, they earn a little extra, and you get your item delivered for roughly half the price of a dedicated transport.
Rubber Wheels is a Nordic shared-transport platform. You post a delivery request in the app, drivers bid on the price, you pick the cheapest or most trustworthy. Payment is secured via Stripe — the driver receives the money only after you confirm the item has arrived.

When shared transport works best
Shared transport is most cost-effective when you move single large items or small batches — exactly when a traditional removal company’s full vehicle + minimum-hour driver would mostly be idle.
Online marketplace purchases
Sofa, fridge, bike from Tori, Blocket, Finn or DBA — delivered without renting a van.
IKEA pickups
A large chest, bed or sofa. The driver picks up from the store and delivers to your home.
Cottage supplies
North or south — the driver is heading that way anyway.
Student move
The contents of a studio flat don’t need a two-tonne van.
Single item
A bike, rowboat, painting — no need to hire a firm for one object.
Large appliance
Washing machine, tumble dryer, bathtub — when your own car isn’t enough.
Is shared transport safe?
Yes, when it’s built properly. On Rubber Wheels every driver must:
- Verify their identity via Stripe before they can bid — the same legally required KYC process as opening a bank account
- Display ratings — you see previous customers’ stars and comments before you choose
- Take a photo at pickup and delivery — the item’s condition is documented automatically
- Get paid only after you confirm delivery — Stripe holds the payment until then
