TIPS to get started:
- Consider starting out on a trial basis for a month or two. Be flexible; vanpool one or two days a week, or every day. Agree to reconsider your arrangements if they do not seem to be working.
- Decide on schedules and pick-up points.
- Agree on waiting times and side trips.
- Agree on rules for the radio, smoking, open windows, car temperature, eating policies and all the other potential annoyances that can make the difference between an enjoyable trip and an unpleasant one.
- Decide on payment schedules, if needed.
|
- Compile a phone list for all pool members and agree on notification procedures in the event of illness, mechanical trouble, weather conditions, or schedule changes that may interfere with your pool routine.
- Keep your van in good condition. A dirty or unreliable van can spoil your vanpool. Check with your insurance agent on possible discounts for carpooling or vanpooling.
