❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Which split method is most fair?
Equal Split works best for colleagues sharing equally. Driver Free is fair when driver bears maintenance, insurance, EMI costs alone. Distance Based is ideal when passengers join/leave at different points along the route.
2. Should car maintenance be included in splitting?
Yes, it's fair! Carpooling adds extra wear and tear on tyres, engine, suspension. Adding ₹500-1000/month maintenance share ensures the driver isn't bearing all vehicle depreciation costs alone while providing ride to others.
3. How much can I save with carpooling?
Huge savings! A daily 30km commute costs ~₹8,000/month solo. With 4-person carpool, each person pays just ₹2,000-2,500/month. That's ₹60,000-70,000 saved per year! Plus reduced traffic stress and environmental benefit.
4. How to handle irregular passengers in carpool?
Use per-trip calculation instead of monthly. Our calculator shows per-trip cost. Pay per ride basis works best for irregular passengers. Apps like Quick Ride, sRide also help manage payments automatically.
