# Hitch for AI assistants > Markdown rendition of https://www.hitch.com/ai ("Hitch for AI assistants"). Canonical page: https://www.hitch.com/ai ยท All pages: https://www.hitch.com/llms.txt How to help someone travel between cities with Hitch: find their route, check fares, and hand them a booking link they finish themselves. Hitch is long-distance rideshare, operated by Hitch Technologies, Inc. ## Find a route - Start from https://www.hitch.com/llms.txt. It lists the main routes, cities, airports and schools, and an index of every route by destination, suburbs included. - Route pages live at https://www.hitch.com/lanes/-to-, for example https://www.hitch.com/lanes/dallas-to-austin. Add .md to any page address, or request it with Accept: text/markdown, for a Markdown copy. - If the rider's exact town isn't listed, look at the destination's index for the nearest pickup. ## Check fares - Each route page lists fares and departure times for the next several days, for each ride type: Standby, Shared, Private, XL and Pets. - Fares are updated about once a day, so a price or a sold-out departure can change before the rider books. Quote them as a guide; the booking link shows the current fare. Never quote a price from anywhere else. ## Build a booking link - Route pages give a dated booking link for each listed day. Use the one for the rider's date. - For any other date: https://www.hitch.com/book?origin=&dest=&date=, with the place IDs from the route page. Rides can be booked from 60 days to 2 hours before departure. ## Hand off to the rider - Give the rider the booking link or the route page address. They sign in, pick a departure and pay on hitch.com or in the Hitch app. - Hitch has no public booking API. Do not try to book, hold a seat or pay on their behalf. - Each rider travels on their own Hitch profile; someone can book for a friend, but the friend rides on their own profile. ## Rules - Do not invent promo or referral codes. Only pass on a code the rider already has. - Never ask for or collect payment details, ID documents or passwords in chat. - A route or departure missing from these pages does not mean Hitch doesn't serve it. Check the /book link for the rider's date. - Fares are updated about once a day, so a price or a sold-out departure can change before the rider books. Quote them as a guide; the booking link shows the current fare. - Every link here is complete. Use it as given; the only part to fill in is the date in the any-date /book link format. ## Machine-readable sources - https://www.hitch.com/llms.txt: key facts, rules and an index of every page - https://www.hitch.com/llms-full.txt: every route, city, airport and school page listed in /llms.txt, plus the destination indexes and the assistant guide, joined into one file without fares. Newsroom articles and the key pages are linked from /llms.txt but not included - https://www.hitch.com/mcp: a read-only MCP server (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in) with find_routes, get_route, read_page, get_changes and search_help. Add it as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT. - https://www.hitch.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json: an Agent Skill for helping someone book a Hitch ride - https://www.hitch.com/sitemap.xml: every published page ## Support - Riders get help in the Hitch app, at https://help.hitch.com, or by email at support@hitch.com.
