Quick Ride is a car pooling and bike pooling application which facilitates ride sharing by giving a choice to user either to offer or find rides.

Carpooling/Bike-pooling/Ride-Sharing refers to the sharing of empty seats in a vehicle. People driving from one point to another can share the empty seats with others who would like to travel on the same route.

Using Quick Ride does not bring any extra vehicle on road. Instead, it helps in filling up the seats through ride sharings in already commuting vehicles that go empty.

Quick Ride is not a cab service application. Carpool givers in here are working professionals who commute to and fro in their vehicle. Since they are the only ones travelling in their vehicle, it usually remains empty. They want to cut the cost of travel by offering rides to other needy passengers.

User who wants to share the empty seats of his/her vehicle with others who want a vehicle to commute is called a carpool giver.

User who wants to join the already commuting empty vehicle of a person without adding another vehicle on road is called a carpool seeker.

After offering a ride, you get all possible matches of ride seekers who want to travel in the same route(partially or completely) at the same time mentioned by you. You can invite the ride and the ride seeker might choose to accept or reject it.

Based on the route set by the carpool giver, Quick Ride sets the pickup and drop location for the ride seekers. The ride seekers are asked to come to the nearest location of carpool givers route and join the ride. Carpool giver doesn’t have to go to the home location of the ride seeker if it does not fall on the specified route. The carpool giver or carpool-taker can further customize this before joining the ride.

Each ride provider can customize the fare per KM per seat at two levels:
Global level: Change the default value at Settings in offer ride price per KM and save. This value will be considered for all rides shared by the user, unless it is customized at each ride level.
Ride level: Just before offering a ride, tap the Settings button at the lower-corner of the app and adjust the value to desired value and then post the ride. This value will be considered for this ride only.

This situation might arise when the ride seeker forgets to check in to your ride. If the ride gets complete without the ride seeker checking in, then the ride seekers ride is automatically cancelled. To avoid such situation, make sure that the ride seeker checks in after getting in to the vehicle.

Quick Ride provides security at multiple levels:
Verified users: A Quick Ride user claiming to work for a company is promoted to "Verified" status only if he/she completes verification process on the official email ID provided by that company. Such users can be trusted better than "Not-verified" users. Use caution when you have to travel with "Not-verified" users. We strongly suggest you to set your company name and official email ID in your profile and complete the verification process. This will increase your chances of being accepted as ride partner by others.

Users from same company: Quick Ride can be configured to show ride partners from within your company only. To enable this option, go to Settings -> Ride match preferences -> Tick "Same Company" -> Save. After this preference is set, you will be shown only those rides that are posted by Quick Ride users from your company. Similarly, your ride will be shown to your colleagues only.

Users from same gender: Quick Ride can be configured to show ride partners belonging to your gender only. To enable this option, go to Settings -> Ride match preferences -> Tick "Same Gender" -> Save. After this preference is set, you will be shown only those rides that are posted by Quick Ride users of same gender. Similarly, your ride will be shown to other users of same gender only.

Average rating from other users: After every successful shared ride, each user is given an opportunity to rate the co-rider on a scale of 1 to 5 along with a brief feedback. Quick Ride shows the average rating along with no of times the user is rated. Prefer users with higher average rating and with more no of users having rated the user. For e.g., if there are four matched users to choose from:

  • • UserA with 4 stars and rated 90 times
  • • UserB with 5 stars and rated 3 times
  • • UserC with 4 stars and rated 50 times and
  • • Users with 3 stars and rated 100 times, prefer UserA over other users.
  • • See "Do's and Don'ts" in our website for tips on how to get better ratings from other users.
In spite of all these, when you meet your ride partner, if you don't feel comfortable sharing the ride, just cancel your ride or unjoin from the ride. There is no obligation to continue against your gut feeling.
