Vanpooling
Has your carpool gotten so popular that you don’t have enough seats in your car? A vanpool might be exactly what you need. If you don’t have a van, check out the TRAFFIX Van Leasing Program.
Benefits
- Vanpooling saves you money by reducing commuting costs.
- Since you're not always the one driving, vanpooling gives you extra time each day to get to work on your to-do list, read the paper, or take a quick nap.
- During rush hours, vanpooling enables you to zip to work in the HOV-2 lanes.
- You can use your own van or lease one from TRAFFIX.
- Every full vanpool removes up to 13 cars from traffic.
- Vanpoolers usually receive a reduced rate on their annual car insurance premium. Call your agent today!
How To Start Vanpooling
You don't have to have a van, or passengers, to start your own vanpool. TRAFFIX can lease you a van at a very favorable rate that will cover the cost of your commute. Of course if you already have a van, you're more then welcome to use it. As for passengers, if you can't think of enough riders to fill your van, don’t worry. TRAFFIX’s Commuter Computer has the resources to help you find them.
It's a Guaranteed Ride
All vanpoolers are eligible for the Guaranteed Ride Program, which ensures you always have a ride back to your point of origin in case of an unexpected emergency.
VAN LEASING
Ride to work at no cost to you. It’s possible when you lease a 15-person luxury van from TRAFFIX. We'll help you find passengers to start a vanpool and determine what fees to charge. When you charge the right fees, your van can be totally paid for. Call TRAFFIX at 800.700.RIDE to get your application today.
