What you didn't know about carpooling!

What you didn't know about carpooling is summarized in the following article. Environmental awareness is increasing. Particularly benefit from this Carpooling. For many, these are particularly attractive as it is said in most cases "get in and drive off". But what needs to be taken into account so that the journey leads to the desired destination? The benefits of carpooling are immense. The driver and the passenger are more relaxed on the road and you save money at the same time, as the Fuel costs split up. And with fewer cars on the streets, both the environment protected, as well as that parking problem largely fixed in large cities.

The right carpool!

The choice of partner should be carefully considered. The driver should not only drive safely can, but also be reliable, after all, delays at the employer or in everyday situations are undesirable. For employees looking to carpool, the easiest way is yourself in the circle of colleagues to look around This has the advantage that you immediately notice whether your partner suits you and whether you can trust him. In some cases, companies also offer their workers internal stock exchanges for precisely this purpose.

Motor vehicle liability insurance in the event of damage

If the worst comes to the worst and you have an accident with your car pool, they come Motor vehicle liability insurance for any damage caused to passengers. The insurance also applies if the driver has an accident not to blame. Even the vehicle owner as a passenger is entitled to compensation if he is injured in an accident. Only in the event of "force majeure". no claim for damages. It is also possible to have one Personal Accident Insurance to complete. However, we advise against this type of insurance, as the maximum limits for motor vehicle liability are usually set so high that extra insurance is required is superfluous.

What makes good insurance coverage?

The benefit of personal accident insurance is that it covers the driver who caused the accident, even if performswhen this nothing gets from his motor liability insurance. It's still better if each inmate himself has private accident insurance, as this provides benefits regardless of the cause of the damage. Incidentally, if the car is damaged, neither private liability insurance nor motor vehicle liability insurance will cover it. For this situation is one Comprehensive insurance necessary, which must be completed separately. Given these facts, it makes sense to before the trip informed about the insurance status.

mediation platforms

For journeys that take place outside of work and are not made by friends, there are nationwide carpooling, which can be reached via the web or via various apps. Providers such as "blablacar", "fahrgemeinschaft.de", "bessermitfahren.de" and "twogo" help you to find a suitable ride. The platforms mentioned are here in Germany, the largest providers.

The company "twogo" is designed for commuters, and it also offers attractive options for companies. "Bessermitfahren.de" is particularly well suited for spontaneous journeys from A to B, since no registration necessary is. However, this can also be fatal to you, since you find out almost nothing about your passenger.

Is there anything else to consider?

Carpooling can too tax benefits bring. The distance allowance, which states that every kilometer from the first kilometer to work is worth €0,30. However, it is important to note that you strictly adhere to the shortest way to work must hold. In the tax return, the distance allowance is then included under the Advertising expenses listed. It is also important that nobody enriched at the carpool. Since this is not the purpose of carpooling, care should be taken at all times. The costs that the driver can charge include the maintenance costs and fuel costs of the vehicle, but should be more nothing will be charged.
