Private carpool
Drive together, save together
More and more friends, neighbors and co-workers have a common goal: To save fuel. Instead of using three or four cars, they are car pooling. This means: Less traffic, less stress on the environment. A win-win situation.
It pays for itself
Your fellow riders share more than just the fueld costs. Depending on the agreement, such costs as taxes, repair costs, insurance, general inspection, other inspections and the depreciation of the car are also taken into account. Nevertheless, each member of the car pool can deduct the flat rate for distance (30 cents/km one-way) from the tax. However, the maximum for ride sharers is 4,500 euros.
Everything to do with the law
As the driver or co-driver, you are automatically insured by the vehicle's liability policy. You are also insured by law for accidents involving your work or on the way to work. From this standpoint, you do not need accident insurance for your passengers.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you conclude a contract to regulate the details of how the costs are divided in order to avoid any future disputes. In any case, your vehicle should be in perfect operating condition.
