| Feb 20, 2014 at 11:46 | comment | added | Vilmar | I can't think of a good single word for that ("I'm looking for a hitchhiker" doesn't sound right to me). I would say "I'm looking for a fellow traveller/fellow passenger/fellow road tripper/travel companion". | |

I'd say this is so rarely needed that in the few cases where you do need to express the notion, you'd simply circumphrase: “He's looking for someone to share the journey with”, “He's looking for an extra passenger”, “He's looking for some company for the ride”, etc. | |
