Vanpooling
Vanpool or Van Lease when you car’s not big enough to handle your carpool.
Has your carpool gotten so popular that you don’t have enough seats in your car? A vanpool might be exactly what you need.
A vanpool is made up of five to fifteen people who commute together to work in a passenger van. Each rider shares in the cost of operating the van while one or more members are designated as drivers.
Benefits
