Commuting to work or school in the morning can be a drag, not to mention thinking about paying for all of that gas and the tolls. Have you ever thought of carpooling as a solution? Joining a carpool is a great way to save money, help save the environment and even start your day off on a good note! For a great experience, Toyota of N Charlotte has come up with easy carpool tips for you!
Improve your carpool with these tips!
- Find your friends and set a schedule! Decide who will be riding and driving for the carpool. Immediately figure out who will be driving on what days. By establishing this early you can avoid confusion and stress, thus having a more positive experience.
- Who's paying for what? Discuss how driving expenses will be split amongst the riders. Talk about how costs like fuel, tolls and parking will be divvied up.
- Make car commandments. Establish rules and etiquette for riders! There are rules to discuss such as speaking on the phone or eating while riding in the car. You may want to consider talking about music choices, that way everyone in the car is happy!
- Don't be late; you've got a very important date! Everyone has a schedule or itinerary they need to attend to, so it's important to be punctual when getting ready. Make sure you're ready when the carpool arrives to pick you up!
- Keep a contingency plan! People have to call out unexpectedly so it's a good idea to have a backup plan in case the driver of the day can't fulfill their responsibility that day. It's best to have a second arrangement to avoid panic or being late!
