Rideshare Etiquette
 
As a member of a carpool or vanpool, think about your own driving habits and how they might affect other passengers. Below are a few simple points to keep things running smoothly, help avoid conflict, and make your car or vanpool a positive experience for everyone involved.
 
  • Avoid being late
  • Drive safely at all times
  • Keep the car/van clean, well serviced, and full of gas
  • Notify others of any schedule changes well in advance
  • Respect any policies the ridepool has agreed on (check out Carpool/Vanpool Tips)
  • Be prompt with your share of the total monthly payment if there is one
  • Avoid wearing and using products with strong scents
  • Ensure you have adequate auto insurance to cover your liability (coverage of $1,000,000 is recommended, as well as underinsured motorist protection)
  • Follow the golden rule; treat your fellow passengers as you would like to be treated
