Wish This Existed Earlier!

I love using PoolUp. It’s so easy, efficient, and affordable to find a ride! The drivers are amazing and it’s been great for making friends traveling to the same location.

Smell ya later Facebook

Thank you PoolUp for providing a clean, helpful alternative to Facebook rideshare groups. Facebook rideshare groups were often unreliable and I couldn’t rely on them for a ride. PoolUp provides a safe and efficient way to get home and around with other students. 🗣👍

No more drivers ghosting me!!!

I needed to go home over the weekend so I went on one of those Facebook groups that “manage” rides and of course at the last minute the driver flaked on me and I was left scrambling looking for another ride last minute. While on campus, I heard some students talking about PoolUp and how they’ve been using it to go home every weekend so I thought I’d try it out. And omg, this app is literally the best thing ever. The drivers are reliable, I know what they look like from their profile, what their reviews are, I have the option to cancel, it’s just perfect.
