Step 1 – Joining CarBuddy is Quick and Easy.

Our sign up process helps us get to know you better. That way we can find a CarBuddy who’s a perfect match for you. Give us some basic information, including your starting and ending points, your personal preferences, and if you’d rather be a passenger, driver or both. With CarBuddy, there are no long term commitments and you can cancel at anytime. Try it for as little as 3 days, see how you like it. You're in control.

Step1

Your Privacy is Guaranteed.



Don’t worry; we hate spam as much as you do. We promise to keep your personal information private and never sell it or share it with anyone.

So let's continue the tour. Click the green arrow button on the right.

Step 2 – We’ll Match You With Your CarBuddy.

Based on your start and end points and your personal preferences, we’ll match you with a CarBuddy. If we don’t find someone close to you, we’ll look at your path of travel and try to find someone within a half-mile of your route.

Once matched, we’ll send you an email introducing you to your new CarBuddy along with all the information you’ll need to get started. Then you can decide if you’d like to try CarBuddy for a week with no additional commitment. And get this; we’ll even provide free trip directions and text traffic alerts to your mobile phone if you’d like.

Step 3 – Put Your Mind at Ease.

Smart and Fair Cost Calculations. Once your trip is arranged, we handle all collections and payments between drivers and passengers so you don’t have to. We base these calculations on the make and model of your car and that of your driving partner to ensure that every collection and payment is fair and accurate.

You Won’t Get Stranded. We provide free emergency pick up taxi service for you when your plans change – up to four times per year. After that, we provide this service at a discounted price.

Safety and Security. CarBuddy verifies that each driver holds a valid Driver’s License and that the auto driven has current insurance coverage. We also initiate communication between drivers and passengers via email, while keeping your information private. We always match gender to gender, unless you specify otherwise.
