| Comment | No. It's car pooling. You still drive your own car. All your doing is "renting" out the passenger seats on a journey your already making.
It gets weird in the UK because of insurance. You're not allowed to make a profit from doing it and can only accept money that covers fuel/ running costs. These payments need to be in line with HMRC limits (without checking it's something like 50p per mile). So, technically, if you do a 3 mile journey 5 days a week with 1 passenger, and the passenger bungs you £20, you've took more than the fuel/ running costs, made a miniscule profit and invalidated your insurance.
It's a great idea in general, but you need to be careful around the payment stuff. Afaik though, sites like bla bla calculate the mileage of the trip and max out how much you can take from each passenger. |
