* Frequent stopping in between your office and home or any destination should be strictly avoided in order to save time and late arrival at the both the premise of work and also back home.
* A well-maintained vehicle will consume less fuel in comparison to a poorly maintained vehicle. Ensure that the vehicle is well maintained. This will guarantee a secure, steadfast and comfortable journey.
* Mutual cooperation among the members of the carpooling systems is a must. Smoking should be avoided. Seating arrangements should be proper- small person in the back row as there is less legroom / leg space in some vehicles and big person in the front row. Caring for the fellow passenger would make the journey more comfortable. If you want to use any thing, ask for it before using.
* Before going into any pool check all details of the person(s) details with whom you are planning carpool.
* Provide all necessary details (relevant & genuine) to the website as well as inform your friends / family members about the carpool arrangement so that they are well informed about it – in case of any incidence / mishap
