A carpool is two or more commuters sharing a ride in one of their own vehicles. The best carpooling arrangements are very flexible. In fact, you don’t need to carpool every day, just as often as your schedule allows. This gives you the freedom to plan errands or appointments on days when you aren’t carpooling. For example you are going to workplace on a two-wheeler which is 10 kilometers away. Lets assume that one of your neighbors is also going to same company or in the same route. Instead of going in two deferent vehicles every day, you both can share the ride. One week you drive and next week other. Both can save money and reduce pollution.
Carpoolers can either share driving and expenses or one person may drive most or all of the time, in which case the passenger shares operating expenses with the driver.
Figure out who's going to drive and when. If everyone takes turns driving, decide if you want to alternate on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. If there are more than two of you in your carpool, designate a back-up driver in case someone's unable to drive during their rotation. Then, do a schedule and make sure every member of your carpool gets a copy of your schedule and contact numbers
Next, talk to the people in your carpool to determine where to meet. Decide whether you prefer door-to-door service or meeting at one central convenient location to all. Establish your morning and evening pick up times. Then plan your route!
There are lots of great ways to find carpool partners. Click Here to search for ads posted in this website database of hundreds of interested carpoolers. You’ll receive a match list with the names and contact information of those persons who match your commute pattern (home addresses are never included on the match lists and home numbers may be excluded as well.) Just contact the names on that list and make your carpool arrangements. If you don't find a match, you can post a new ad.
You can contact co-workers and neighbors. Or post a sign in your car window or on bulletin boards at work
Be sure to call everyone whose name you receive. Their hours may be flexible. They may be willing to meet you at a convenient pick-up point. And best of all, they may know other people interested in carpooling!
If each person in the carpool takes a turn at driving, then there's no need to charge. If only one person drives, however, you'll want to charge each rider a reasonable fare. Determine how costs will be split. Here's one way to do it:
Carpool roundtrip mileage X Cost per kilometer ÷ Number of carpoolers = Daily fare per Rider
You may also want to include any parking costs you might have.
Guidelines to Consider when Starting/Listing a Carpool:
Establish a trial period for the carpool. A few weeks is a good period of time for determining if all participants want to continue with the carpool.
Determine drop-off and pick-up points and times. Most carpools do this at either residences or common meeting points. Those who must drive to join up with the carpool can leave their cars at a safe Park lot. Some are conveniently located along bus routes, and others, while not on bus lines, may be good meeting places for van and carpoolers. Some lots are shared facilities with the businesses that own or lease the property. You may also be able to establish a park and ride lot that is convenient to your carpool’s residences by speaking with property management of a desired location.
Decide if one person will drive, or if the responsibility will rotate. Most carpools rotate driving responsibilities. If you rotate drivers, determine the schedule and the rotation.
Discuss personal preferences before the first day. Radio on or off? If on, what station will you listen to? Is smoking, eating or drinking permitted? How long should the driver wait for a late passenger?
Establish a chain of communication to notify each other of illness or other changes affecting the group.
How much money can I save by carpooling? Quite a bit. If commuting is 75% of your vehicle usage, and you share your commute with two others, you will save about 50% of the total cost of your car, including fuel, maintenance, and depreciation. In addition there are also savings in tolls and parking fees that add up over time.
Is my information private? Yes. We respect your privacy, and will not distribute member information without your permission (except in response to verified requests from law enforcement or emergency services).
Can I place a carpool listing if I don't have a car? Yes. You can contribute to the expenses of the driver without having a car, and everyone saves. This may not be possible in all cases, but you can work out the details after receiving a response to your listing. Similarly, feel free to respond to a carpool listing even if you don't have a car.

Eligibility
You must be 18 years of age or older to use CarBaaz.com. You may not use CarBaaz.com where it is prohibited. You consent to have us provide your information to the other users of CarBaaz.com, as described below, to help you find people to share your transportation. If your e-mail address is registered on CarBaaz.com, it means that you or someone else with access to your e-mail account has confirmed your trip information. By using this web site you acknowledge that CarBaaz.com is not responsible for ascertaining who actually controls the e-mail accounts used in our system.
If another person has posted your personal information, such as address, phone No, e-mail address, or other, on this web site, then please contact us immediately and we will remove the offending information.

CarBaaz.com only requests the minimal information necessary to perform automatic door-to-door carpool matching. CarBaaz.com only collects your information to provide you with a ride-sharing service. CarBaaz.com will not provide your information to anyone else, for any other purpose, unless we are lawfully compelled to do so by a legal authority. CarBaaz.com does not send spam and does not employ any intrusive advertising techniques. Please note the following specific privacy-related issues and features:
You do not have to use your real name. You identify yourself in our system with any unique display name you desire.
You must provide a working e-mail address. Because we allow other users to send you e-mails if they think you are a good match for their trip, we will only show your trip to other users if you have confirmed that your e-mail address is functional (we send a confirmation e-mail to that address and you must respond to it). For an added measure of privacy, if you desire, you can get yourself another e-mail address (many free e-mail services are available on other web sites) and use that e-mail address for your CarBaaz.com e-mail.
We do not display your e-mail address to other users (we do not even include it in our .html source). Initial contacts from our match’s page, from one user to another, go through our mail server. In this way, the e-mail sender does not see the e-mail address that he has contacted. We record these initial contacts in our mail server history. The recipient of the e-mail will see the e-mail address of the sender and may or may not respond to the e-mail. If the recipient responds, he must respond directly to the original sender. That e-mail, and all subsequent e-mails, are transmitted by and between the parties themselves, with no involvement or record by CarBaaz.com.
We allow you to enter your home and work telephone numbers, and we display this information to the other users. This is optional. The choice is yours to use this feature or not.
We allow you to specify your start time & return time. However, because of all the other privacy features described above, we believe the information available in CarBaaz.com is generally very unlikely to increase your normal level of risk.
In any event, you take full responsibility for your use of CarBaaz.com, and by using this web site you acknowledge your agreement that CarBaaz.com has no liability whatsoever for any problem that arises from its use.
We permit you to enter any text that you desire in your trip description. We recommend that you do not provide specific identifying information, but you can provide whatever information you desire. We reserve the right to edit your trip description to ensure appropriate use of the web site according to our own judgment.
CarBaaz.com reserves the ultimate right to judge acceptable use. CarBaaz.com may change, delete or de-activate any user's information as required to ensure acceptable use without any liability whatsoever to any party. Your specific freedoms and restrictions are as follows:
You may create, change, de-activate or delete trip information in this web site at any time as needed to help you find other people to share your transportation. You may create multiple trips, but please do not create more than one record for a single trip (do not enter the same trip twice under two different names) because this will clutter the system with duplicate information. If you create a second trip temporarily to 'test' our matching function, please delete one of the trips after your test is completed. If you have more than one trip to match, or if you have one 'standing' trip for your daily commute plus additional trips for one-time events such as cross-country trips, you may create as many trip records as you need (each will require a unique traveler name). If you use the system for one-time trips, please de-activate or delete the trip record after you take your trip.
You must communicate with other users in a civil, polite manner. No abusive language will be tolerated. CarBaaz.com reserves the right to remove the information for any user who does not comply with the spirit of the CarBaaz.com community, as judged by the operators of CarBaaz.com, without any liability whatsoever to any party.
