Waze is by far the best app for social browsing. For many years this GPS navigator, currently owned by Google, has a great advantage over each and every one of its competitors in terms of social functions. Waze has long allowed drivers to notify of traffic jams, controls and all kinds of problems on the route. However, some users have been asking the app for a long time for a new feature that is now coming to some countries.
This is Waze's car sharing feature, Waze Carpool.This function is the same as that used by similar platforms such as BlaBlaCar, perfect for saving money by sharing a car and helping the driver save on expenses when traveling. As of today, this new function is already available in the Waze application in some countries such as Mexico, the United States and Israel. Little by little the feature will be expanded throughout the different countries in which Waze operates.
How to share a car with Waze?
From today the official Waze application already allows you to invite several friends to share a car, and that means that it will be much easier to make a trip with friends. To be able to make a shared ride, the steps are very easy to follow.
If you want to make a shared trip
From the Waze app itself, when planning a route, tap the new button on a passenger with a raised hand to set a shared route.
If you want to travel in a shared ride
- Download the new Waze Carpool app, view the shared routes and assign yourself to one of them.
- From the Waze Carpool application you will be able to see all the free places in each of the trips.
Both from one application and the other you can invite friends to be part of the occupants of each vehicle and, therefore, transfer, you will have to pay a small contribution that the application will allow us to establish according to the type of vehicle and route, just as it is priced in other similar applications. Waze has adjusted prices based on trip type to make it a win-win.
Waze has announced this new feature on its blog, are you looking forward to trying it out on your next route or are you one of those who prefers to take your car everywhere?
