Pool

Share the route. Split the cost.

Riders schedule trips ahead of time and sell the seats. You book the one going your way and pay for your seat — not the whole car.

How pooling works

A trip is planned before it's sold.

Pool isn't a car appearing on demand — it's a route someone is already driving, with seats going spare. That's what makes it cheap.

1

A rider plans a route

Origin, stops, destination and a departure time — scheduled a day ahead. They set the seats and the price per seat.

2

You book a seat

Find the trip going your way, pick your boarding and drop points, and book the seats you need.

3

You board with a code

When the trip starts you get a pickup code. The rider enters it to confirm the right passenger got in.

4

Escrow releases

Your payment is held from the moment you book, and only reaches the rider once the trip is complete.

Per-seat pricing

The rider prices the seat. You see it before you book.

Pool is the one service without a distance formula — the rider setting the route decides what a seat on it is worth, and you either take it or you don't.

Why no calculator here. A pool seat has no per-km rate for us to compute — pricing one on this page would mean inventing a number. You'll see the real per-seat price on each trip in the app.

Paid up front, held in escrow

Pool is the one service where the full amount is taken when you book — it has to be, or seats get held and never paid for. It sits in escrow until the trip runs.

Rs 500 rider deposit

The rider puts up a security deposit for the trip, held while it runs. Their money is on the line too.

26% cancellation

The same rule as everywhere else on Drivio, and it applies to the rider just as much as to you.

Escrow

How escrow protects both sides.

Sharing a car with strangers only works if neither side can burn the other. Escrow is how that's enforced rather than hoped for.

If you're a passenger
  • Your money is held by Drivio, not handed to a stranger.
  • It doesn't reach the rider until the trip is actually complete.
  • The rider has a deposit at risk, so ghosting you costs them.
  • If they cancel, you're refunded and they pay the penalty.
If you're the rider
  • Seats are paid for before departure — no empty no-shows.
  • The passenger's money is already committed when you set off.
  • A pickup code confirms the right person boarded your vehicle.
  • A passenger who cancels pays the penalty, not you.

Pool trips are scheduled a day ahead, so the ones for tomorrow are already in the app.
