Some tips from
another rideshare page:
Need-a-Ride or Have-a-Ride-
be very clear if you are looking to ride with someone with
a vehicle or do you have a vehicle and are looking for riders.
Travel dates- make sure everyone knows departure date and
time, how many people will be in the vehicle, and whether
this is a ONE WAY or ROUND TRIP. Changes in dates for leaving
the gatherings are a pain, so council about any changes.
Driver or Rider- can you
share the driving? As a courtesy to the vehicle owner (not
to mention the law) to offer to drive, you must have a valid
driver's license with you. Remember large vehicles may require
special endorsements to operate in many states. Anyone can
be stopped, however safely you drive (as we've all learned).
Green
Energy- (gas money) say whether you have money
to contribute to the 'hat' of the brother or sister with the
vehicle. If you're offering a ride, be up front about whether
you need green energy, would appreciate it, or just want company
as you head home.
Personal
Safety- Before you accept a ride with anyone, or
agree to provide a ride to anyone, check with someone else
in the family that they know. If you can't, at least meet
with them first to know who you'll be sharing your air with
for several days?
Keep it Legal- Travel Clean-
Be honest with your riders/drivers and don't surprise them
by carrying anything that could get them busted, however sacred
you consider it. DRIVE SENSIBLY, observe speed limits, remember
to help check headlights, tail lights, clear visibility through
windows and mirrors, seatbelts, etc. Small time traffic infractions
can lead to big time hassles .
