Yes. A shared ride is one where the driver is travelling for their own purposes, e.g. to work, and passengers join their route and contribute to the costs. It isn’t commercial passenger transport.

What rules apply in inOneCar?

Under the terms of service:

• inOneCar is not a carrier and doesn’t provide transport services. The app connects people who plan similar trips (§3).
• The agreement for a ride is between the driver and the passenger – inOneCar isn’t a party to it. Users decide on the route, time and course of the ride themselves (§3).
• A shared ride is non-commercial. The amount the driver asks for is only a share of the travel costs and can’t exceed them. Commercial passenger transport through the app is prohibited (§11).
• inOneCar takes no commission, and payment is settled directly between the driver and the passenger (§11).

This applies both to rides with colleagues in a company network and to the public network.

What about car insurance?

• The car you travel in must have valid third-party liability insurance (OC) and a current roadworthiness test (terms, §8).
• The driver is responsible for the condition of the car and for not carrying more people than the registration certificate allows (§8).
• Neither inOneCar nor your employer provides additional insurance for people on the ride (§12). If you want to know exactly what your policy covers, ask your insurer.
