How inOneCar works

Whether you have a car or you're looking for a ride, you set your route once and the app matches you every day with people travelling the same way.

I'm a passenger

Commute without your own car

  1. Download the app and set your route

    Enter where from, where to and when you commute. You do it once.

  2. Browse your matches

    You get suggested drivers travelling a similar route. No listings to dig through.

  3. Book a seat

    Pick a day, send a booking request, and sort out the details in chat.

  4. Ride and settle up in the app

    You pay your share of the cost, less than your own fuel would cost.

I'm a driver

Recover part of your fuel costs

  1. Add your ride and hours

    Enter your hours and get a suggested route.

  2. Accept bookings

    Passengers on your route send requests. You accept them with one tap.

  3. Pick up your passengers

    The app guides you to the meeting point. You drive as usual, just not alone.

  4. Settlement adds itself up

    A suggested rate per ride and a running balance with each person — no mental maths.

Cost sharing

Driver and passengers split the cost of the ride

We calculate the suggested rate per ride from the route length. The passenger contributes to fuel and the driver recovers part of the cost. You see the balance with each person in the app, so you don't have to talk about money.

Why does the passenger contribute to the ride?

We know people are naturally helpful and happy to give each other a lift. But that goodwill usually lasts for a few rides at most.

A driver will give a colleague a free ride once or twice. But a daily work commute isn't a favour. It's 40 rides a month, fuel, tyres, servicing and wear on the car. Without cost sharing, one person funds the commute of several others — and after a few weeks they simply stop taking passengers.

That's why settlement is built into the app. Not for the driver to profit, but so the shared ride outlasts the first month.

Example: Oleśnica → Wrocław, approx. 30 km

Driver's real cost*PLN 34.50
Suggested rate for the passenger**PLN 7.50 per ride
Driver with two passengersrecovers PLN 15

Even with two passengers, the driver still covers more than half the cost of the ride. The passenger pays less than their own fuel would cost, and the driver doesn't profit.

* Based on the rate of PLN 1.15 per kilometre for a passenger car over 900 cm³, set out in the regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 25 March 2002 (rate in force in 2026). It covers fuel, partial depreciation, servicing and tyres.

** Under the inOneCar terms of service, this rate is used to split ride costs, not to run a commercial passenger transport service. The suggested rate never exceeds the real cost of the trip, and the app does not let you add a ride priced above cost.

Corridors

We open route by route

We start where the most people commute. The Wrocław–Oleśnica corridor is running now. If your route isn't live yet, add it on the corridors page. We'll open the next corridor where the most people sign up. See corridors and sign-ups →

Frequently asked questions

The full list of questions. If something's missing, get in touch.

What is carpooling?

Carpooling means sharing a car — several people travelling a similar route ride together in one car instead of separately. At inOneCar, it's carpooling to work: the same routes, the same hours, the same people. The driver recovers part of the fuel cost, the passenger pays less than commuting alone.

How is inOneCar different from BlaBlaCar?

BlaBlaCar is mainly used for one-off trips between cities — you look for a ride on a specific day and route. inOneCar is built for the daily commute to work: you set your route and hours once, and the app matches you with people who travel the same way every working day, in both directions.

How does the cost split work?

The app suggests a fair rate per ride based on the route. The passenger contributes to fuel, the driver recovers part of the cost. The terms of service allow cost sharing only, with no profit.

Do I need a car?

No. As a passenger you set your route and get suggestions from drivers going the same way.

Can I be a passenger sometimes and a driver other times?

Yes. Many people alternate — driving themselves on some days, riding with someone else on others. You set this for every ride.

How do we agree on a pickup point?

After you book, a chat opens in the app and you agree on the meeting point there. You don't need to share your phone number.

What about the way back from work?

Your route covers both directions. You set the hours for the outbound and the return trip, and you get separate matches for each.

What if the driver cancels the ride?

You'll get a notification right away, and the app will suggest other matches on your route.

Is it safe?

Every user confirms their email address and phone number when creating an account. Commutes to work are repetitive, so you ride with the same, familiar faces from your route. We're also preparing post-ride ratings.

What is a corridor, and why doesn't my route work yet?

We open route by route, starting with the ones most people commute on. Add your route on the corridors page or in the app. We'll open the next corridor where the most people sign up.

Is the app free?

Yes, the app is free for drivers and passengers, and it doesn't take a cut of settlements.
