Buggy Sharing

A buggy has 4 seats. You only pay for yours.

Traveling as a pair? Open your spare seats to other travelers on the same departure. Everyone takes the same tour and each pays their own share.

  • Yours
  • Open to share
How many seats do you need?
R$ 400
Private R$ 400 the buggy just for you
Shared R$ 200 R$ 100 per seat, you pay only your seats

A difference of R$ 200

Illustrative example that splits the buggy price evenly across the 4 seats. In the app, the price of each shared seat is set by the drivers’ association running each tour, and you see it before you pay.

  • Price locked at booking

    What you see when you book is what you pay. Nobody recalculates it later.

  • Privacy

    Other travelers only see your first name. Your phone, e-mail and documents stay with you.

  • Group chat

    People on the same buggy chat in the app to sort out the details, without swapping numbers.

Private or shared

Two ways to go, no fine print

Private

  • The buggy is just for your group, up to 4 people
  • Pace and stops agreed only with you
  • Great for families, honeymooners or unhurried photos

Shared

  • You pay only for the seats you take
  • Share the buggy with other travelers on the same departure
  • Great for solo travelers, pairs or anyone saving money

Either way: same route, drivers from the local association, a QR code ticket and the same cancellation rules.

Why book with Buguin

Built with the people who live the dunes

  • Local drivers

    Tours are run by buggy driver associations from the region. The money stays with those who know the way.

  • Ticket on your phone

    A QR code that refreshes on its own. Only the association running your tour can check it in.

  • Deposit or full price

    Book with at least 50% and settle the rest with the driver on the day, or pay everything at once.

  • Clear cancellation

    Free up to 24 hours before. Between 24 and 12 hours, you get half back. After that, no refund.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the app available yet?

Not yet. We are in final testing and launching in Canoa Quebrada. Join the waitlist to be notified.

How does Buggy Sharing work?

You book only the seats you need on a shared tour. Other travelers can book the free seats on the same buggy and departure. Everyone pays their own share, and the per-seat price is shown before you pay.

Do I have to pay everything upfront?

No. You can book with at least 50% and pay the rest on the day, directly to the driver or association. Or pay 100% when booking.

What if I need to cancel?

Free up to 24 hours before the tour. Between 24 and 12 hours before, you get 50% back. With less than 12 hours, there is no refund. If the operator cancels, you get a full refund.

Who rides with me on a shared tour?

Other travelers who booked the same tour and time. You only see each other’s first names and can chat in the app. No contact details are shared.

What if the shared group does not fill up?

It depends on the tour’s rule, shown before booking. When a tour needs a minimum number of people and it is not reached, you get a full refund or can choose to go private by paying the difference. Nothing extra is charged without your confirmation.

Which payment methods will be accepted?

Pix and card, in the app. The balance of a deposit booking is paid on the day, directly to the driver.

I am a buggy driver. How do I join?

Buguin works with buggy driver associations and cooperatives. Fill in the partner form and we will get in touch.
