Upgrade your life in Korea
without buying a vehicle.
Get your own bike, e-bike or scooter with a simple monthly plan. Ride it while you're here. Return it easily when you leave.
We get it
Living in Korea is convenient
But owning things here can be complicated.
Many foreign residents want the freedom of having their own ride.
But buying one often means dealing with:
SWAP gives you the freedom of your own ride
without those headaches.
A typical day with SWAP
Not just transportation. It's how your daily life changes.
Morning
Ride to the subway in 5 minutes instead of walking 15. Or just skip the subway entirely.
Afternoon
Quick trip to the café or the mart. No waiting for buses. No checking transit apps.
Evening
It's 12:30 AM. The last train left 30 minutes ago. But you're not worried. Your ride is right outside.
Weekend
Explore neighborhoods you might never visit otherwise. Hannam-dong, Mangwon, or Seongsu. All on your own schedule.
The freedom of having your own ride in Korea. Without the hassle of buying one.
Perfect if you're staying in Korea for a while
Buying a vehicle often doesn't make sense when you're not sure how long you'll stay.
SWAP gives you the freedom of your own ride without committing to ownership.
Rental Plan
Use it while you're here, return it when you leave. No resale stress. No long-term commitments.
Long-term Rental Plan
Better monthly pricing while keeping the flexibility of a subscription. No buying. No reselling later.
Common frustrations many foreigners face
Apps only in Korean
Most mobility apps require Korean fluency. All menus, support, and error messages are in Korean.
Verification fails with foreign IDs
Identity verification systems often reject foreign phone numbers or ARC cards.
Shared scooters unavailable when you need them
Dead batteries, no scooters nearby, or locked in zones you can't get to.
SWAP solves this by giving you your own ride. Always ready. Always yours.
