Earn money filming the roads you already drive.

OnRoady is a marketplace that connects drivers already on the road to requesters who want to see a specific place at a specific time. Your phone is the camera.

For drivers

You are already driving the route. When a requester wants footage from a place on it, OnRoady alerts you. Claim the request, mount your phone, film the clip as you pass, get paid through Stripe.

For requesters

Want to see a place you can't be? Post a bounty — time, location, what you'd like to see — and a nearby driver can claim it and film it on their next pass. You only pay when you accept a match.

How it works

1

Post or claim

Requesters describe what they want to see, where, and in what time window. Drivers in the area get notified if their route overlaps.

2

Submit

A driver claims the request and films it in the OnRoady app on their next pass. OnRoady auto-blurs faces and license plates of bystanders before the requester ever sees it.

3

Review

Requester accepts the clip. Stripe releases the bounty from escrow to the driver's connected bank account.

What people bounty

Travel

“Show me what the coastal drive from Big Sur to Monterey actually looks like on a Sunday afternoon.”

Real conditions

“Is Highway 17 flooded near Los Gatos this morning? Real-time footage > news reports.”

Project check-in

“Can someone drive by my construction site in Reno on their route this week and film 30 seconds?”

Local discovery

“What does that new food-truck park in Austin look like from the street?”

Safety, privacy, and trust

Bystander blurring

Every face and license plate on an uploaded clip is automatically blurred before the requester (or anyone else) sees the footage.

KYC identity verification

Drivers complete a Checkr background check and Stripe Identity verification before any payout can be released.

Prohibited-use screening

Every bounty is screened against a prohibited-use list to keep the marketplace focused on legitimate curiosity and travel-and-discovery use cases. Three user reports auto-suspend a bounty pending review.

All-party-consent audio

Audio recording is disabled by default in states that require all-party consent — CA, IL, PA, FL, MD, MI, MT, NV, NH, OR, WA, CT. Where enabled elsewhere, drivers are responsible for local compliance.

Drivers are independent contractors and hold their own auto insurance — OnRoady does not insure driving activity. See our Terms of Service and California AB 5 Addendum for details.

Common questions

Do I need a dashcam?

No. Your phone is the camera. You claim a request, mount your phone, and film the clip inside the OnRoady app as you drive past. The app does not import video from a separate dashcam, an SD card, or your photo library. Every clip is filmed live in the app, which is how a requester knows the footage is fresh and from the window they asked for.

Is this legal in my state?

Video recording from a vehicle is legal in every US state. Audio has different rules — see the “All-party-consent audio” note above. Any specific bounty must also comply with the prohibited-use policy in our Terms.

How much can I earn?

Bounties are set by requesters and typically pay $5–$25 per accepted clip. There are no exaggerated income promises here. Full breakdown on our earnings page.

Who pays whom?

Requester funds a bounty into Stripe escrow when they post it. On acceptance, Stripe releases the bounty to the driver's connected bank account. OnRoady takes a platform fee out of the bounty; no subscription, no upfront driver cost.
