FAQ

Q. How does it work?

Simply download the Letspool app and verify you're a student. If you're a Rider, find your ideal rideshare and reserve a seat. You can even reserve seats for friends. ​ If you're a Driver, create the journey you plan to take, post it, and earn in fuel contribution by accepting fellow students as Riders.

Q. Who can use Letspool?

Letspool is exclusive to University Students in the UK. Therefore, we require users to verify their student identity (via e-mail) and we also ask for certain information from student drivers. This includes basic details such as the vehicle registration number, so we can verify the vehicle is roadworthy.

Q. How is the fuel contribution calculated?

The cost of the journey is calculated with the distance, avg. MPG, and fuel prices are taken into account, as per the guidelines set out by the Association of British Insurers. No profits will be made for the driver, but they will significantly reduce their fuel costs.
