waze carpoolWhat is Waze Carpool?

It is an app based service that matches drivers and riders who are commuting at similar times via similar routes:

  • The driver gets paid up to $0.54/mile, or can choose a set fee
  • The rider gets a low cost ride

Why is Waze Carpool Cool?

  • Unlike old school ride matching, matches are easier to make and can be close to real-time
  • If you don't like your carpool partner you just choose a different one the next day
  • It can reduce commute costs, get you there faster, fill empty seats and reduce commute congestion

Isn't this what other ride-sharing services do? 

No, Waze is specifically meant for commuters, the driver is limited to providing two rides a day, and the amount they can earn is capped. Plus, this is much cheaper for the rider!
