WHAT IS IT?
iCarpool is a flexible carpooling app that helps you find, connect and carpool with co-workers and neighbors going your way. Commuters who drive to work offer rides during their commute. Riders who are going the same way carpool with the driver for a single trip. Whether you ride or drive, iCarpool can help you save time and money. Zip around in that carpool lane as you make new friends. Of course, by carpooling youll be helping the environment as well.
HOW IT WORKS?
When You Ride:
1. Provide your morning and evening commute trip information.
2. Youll be notified of matching carpools.
3. Review carpool matches and book your ride.
4. Arrive at the pickup location to carpool.
5. Enjoy the ride! Rate your driver at the end of the ride.
When You Drive:
1. For morning commute, open your trip to riders the night before. For evening commute, open your trip to riders in the afternoon.
2. Review booked rides and start your trip.
3. Pick up and drop-off riders on your way. There is no extra driving.
4. Rate riders and get paid. At the end of your trip, the app will add appropriate credits to your account.
