What insurance do I need for carpooling?

Your regular insurance covers you for carpooling with Poparide.

This is because Poparide operates under carpooling regulations which allow drivers to fill empty seats in their cars to help cover their costs when they're already driving from A to B.

Since this is not considered as commercial service under the law, there is no additional insurance required. We do however recommend that Poparide drivers have a minimum third party liability coverage of $2 million.

To ensure drivers aren't operating a commercial service and don't turn a profit, we set a maximum price per seat of 15¢ per kilometre. We also monitor our driver's activity to ensure they are indeed carpooling.

Please note that we have some commercial services running on Poparide, and these have special authorizations issued from the local authority in charge of commercial vehicle regulations.
