Hiya

Driven by her.

A women-to-women ride-hailing app — women behind the wheel, women in the back seat, and a bold pink brand that turns safety into ownership.

01The back seat wasn't built for her

Every ride-hailing app was designed around a male default — and it shows. Late at night, many women hesitate before getting into a stranger's car; many simply opt out. Half the market, quietly underserved.

02Flip the front seat

Hiya breaks the category's deepest convention: every driver is her. Women behind the wheel, women in the back — safety not as a feature toggle buried in settings, but as the entire architecture of the service.

03Pink, reclaimed

An electric pink worn with authority, not apology — paired with deep plum, bilingual English–Arabic, and an app built around trust: driver profiles, live trip sharing, trusted contacts, and a booking flow that feels like being picked up by a friend.

04The ride she tells her friends about

Trust travels by word of mouth. More repeat riders, thousands of women earning independence at the wheel, and a brand that made the whole category look old overnight.
