CARPOOLIN
How We Make Money
Carpoolin acknowledges this kind of service does not lend itself to generating a lot of money.
On top of that, how do you continue making anything from Users that share car rides together?!
We're playing the long game, one that builds a brighter future for everyone involved.
Through the App
The App's base model is something similar to what you see on Spotify or Youtube.
You have full access to the App and all of its features, and NO ADS!
Premium
What Carpoolin Premium looks like *20th Sept 2025
Paid Trips
We can handle payments through the App, if you choose to list a Paid Trip.
To handle this we use a Wallet feature.
The reason for this is to reduce fees for Users who prefer this.
We will be deducting fees from these transactions;
-
A Gateway Merchant fee
5% for regular Users 2.5% for Premium -
An App fee
2.8% for regular and 1% for Premium
For You
Who determines how much my trip costs?
Sure, you take a fee from transactions through the App. But how is the price of the Trip calculated?
This -- we believe is up to the individual parties involved to determine.
Trip distances can range from going to work or across the country.
We don't mandate any rule you should apply to YOUR trip.
If you're happy to share your car and time with another person then we'll stay out of it and assume you do the right thing with your collective interests in mind.
We have details on what carpooling means legally in NZ, see out Legal page for more details.
With this in-mind we believe you will do what is right for your circumstances.
