The Sonder Support Team
Sonder's Australian based, 24/7 operations centre is made up of people with specialist skills and mental first-aid training. They offer emotional support and advice in uncertain situations, can review your circumstances and get you the help you need. The in-person support team can provide emotional support, de-escalate risky situations and help you deal with any issue that comes your way.
How to use Sonder

Swipe for help in the app to speak to us via live chat or over the phone with any issue concerning you. We can even send in- person assistance if needed.
Check on me
If you’re meeting someone new or going to an unfamiliar destination makes you feel uncomfortable, our ‘Check on me’ feature will allow us to keep an eye out to make sure you are OK.

We track your progress throughout your journey until you feel safe, secure and no longer need us.
Safety alerts
