Carpool Plan

Carpool Plan helps parents share the driving to school and after-school activities — with the people they choose, on the days they need. Post that your child needs a lift on Tuesday. See which parents are already going. Approve the one you want, and follow the ride on a map until your child arrives. YOU DECIDE EVERY RIDE No child ever rides with anyone until their own parent approves that specific arrangement, and every approval is recorded. There is no automatic matching that puts your child in a stranger's car. You see who is driving, what car they drive, which car seats it carries, and how many rides they have completed — and then you choose. WHAT WE DO NOT DO We do not check licences, insurance, cars or backgrounds, and we say so plainly to every driver before they can offer a single ride. Carpool Plan is how parents organise something they already do — it is not a vetting service, and treating it as one would be the wrong way to use it. The decision is always yours, made with the information in front of you. CAR SEATS, TAKEN SERIOUSLY Tell us your child's age and we will only suggest cars that carry a suitable car seat or booster seat. Drivers list what is actually in the car. A car that cannot safely carry your child is not offered as an option. BUILT AROUND REAL SCHEDULES - Weekly activities, terms and one-off sessions - Repeat a ride until a date, and strike out the weeks it does not run - A family calendar showing every child's activities and rides together - Warnings when two commitments collide, or when you are down to drive twice at once THE RIDE HOME A ride there and a ride home are one journey. Arrange both together, with their own times, and see them as a pair rather than two things you have to remember separately. WHILE THE RIDE IS HAPPENING Ask the driver to share their location and follow the car on a map. Sharing is always the driver's choice, and it stops when the ride ends. We never build a history of anyone's movements. FOR ACTIVITY PROVIDERS Clubs, schools and coaches can publish their schedule, manage groups, and let families enrol — so the timetable parents are organising around is the real one. PRIVACY Your exact home address is never shown to another parent until a ride between you is confirmed. Children have no accounts, cannot sign in, and are never contacted by us. We do not sell personal data, to anyone, ever. Carpool Plan is free to use. Cost sharing between parents is a private arrangement; we take no commission and process no payments.
