Lay the ground rules for a smooth commute
Drivers and driving schedule
Decide who will drive when. Make sure everyone has a list with each carpooler's home and work phone numbers in case of illness or emergency.
Meeting place
Choose a convenient meeting place, like a Park & Ride lot, or pick each person up at home.
Costs
Decide on costs. If you share the driving equally, you don't have to exchange money. If one person drives, divide the cost among the passengers.
Helpful hints
Set a few rules, like: How long you'll wait for late riders; Smoking or nonsmoking; Food and drink allowed/not allowed in the car; Music, news or nothing.
Make sure the vehicle is running well and has gas.
Check your insurance—some policies offer rate reductions for ridesharing.
Check for preferential, free or reduced-rate parking. It all pays off!
