  • Avoid picking up or being picked from the taxi ranks.
  • To avoid conflicts with the taxi patrols and potential legal issues, it's best to avoid using 6+ seaters for carpooling unless you have the appropriate permits. Stick to smaller vehicles (with 4 or 5 seats) for private, non-commercial carpooling, which will reduce the risk of running into regulatory or taxi-related problems.

Typically passengers are covered by the driver's insurance. However, we recommend that you check with your insurance provider to ensure that you are covered for carpooling. If you are a driver, it is important to inform your insurance provider that you are using your vehicle for carpooling to ensure that you have the appropriate coverage.
