Carpooling is a shared transportation arrangement where multiple people travel together in one vehicle. The driver offers empty seats in their car to passengers traveling in the same direction, sharing the costs of the journey. This practice reduces traffic congestion, lowers transportation costs, and helps reduce environmental impact.

ㅤ

Carvisto connects drivers with empty seats to passengers traveling in the same direction. Drivers can create trips by specifying their route, departure time, vehicle details, and price per seat. Passengers can search for available trips, view driver profiles, and book seats. The platform facilitates the entire process from finding a ride to completing the journey.

1. Log in to your Carvisto account
2. Navigate to "My Account" and click "Create New Trip"
3. Fill in the required details: departure and arrival locations, date and time, price per seat, and vehicle information
4. Add any additional information or requirements for passengers
5. Click "Create Trip" to publish your journey

Prices are set by drivers based on factors such as:

• Distance of the journey
• Fuel costs
• Toll fees
• Vehicle maintenance

Carvisto encourages fair pricing that makes carpooling beneficial for both drivers and passengers. The goal is to share travel costs, not to generate profit.As a guideline, prices typically cover the driver's expenses while offering passengers a more affordable alternative to other transportation options.

Carvisto prioritizes safety through several measures:

• User verification and profile reviews
• Rating system for both drivers and passengers
• Ability to view driver profiles and vehicle information before booking
• Secure messaging system within the platform

We recommend users to check ratings and reviews, communicate clearly about meeting points, and share trip details with a trusted contact before departure. Always trust your instincts and cancel if you feel uncomfortable with any arrangement.
