Whirl has an internal messaging system that users can use to communicate, once you've found someone you think is interested, send them a message using the messaging service to confirm your travel or travel needs or delivery. Meeting close to public transport is recommended in case your trip partner is unable to make it.
Whirl leaves it up to the driver to decide the amount of fee they want to ask about. However, if you have difficulty deciding how much fuel to charge, it makes sense for drivers to ask passengers or senders for a fee in the range of Uganda shilling 120 per passenger per kilometer. Users can use tools like the AA Route Planner or Google Maps to estimate travel time and determine what contributions they want. Upward or downward payments avoid the need for change and are obviously a sensible solution.
No, if you ask passengers to contribute to your vehicle's operating costs, as we recommend (and do not make a profit), car sharing will not affect your insurance in any way if six or fewer passengers and that transporting passengers is not your business or very regular occurrence. If you are still concerned about whether you are doing the right thing, it is best to contact your insurance company to make sure you are acting in their note. Whirl does not guarantee that your insurance will cover pick-up and delivery costs.
If your circumstances change and you are no longer able to honor your agreement, please notify your agreed whirl partner as soon as possible.
