Five ways to be a great carpool passenger

Published 20 July 2026

Small things make a shared drive better for everyone. Here is what our drivers appreciate most.

Be at the pickup point a few minutes early. Drivers are usually on a schedule and waiting is the number one complaint we hear.

Message the driver if anything changes. A quick note beats a no-show.

Pack light unless the ride says large luggage is fine.

Ask before eating in the car, and take your rubbish with you.

Leave a rating after the trip. Ratings are how the community stays reliable.
