HOW IT WORKS • Request a ride for your group in seconds • Share your booking link — passengers join from their own phones • Each passenger pays their own fare individually • Your driver arrives, scans the QR code, and everyone checks in • No splitting apps, no IOUs, no awkward math FOR RIDERS • Book for groups of any size • Real-time ride tracking • Individual fare payments — no one owes anyone anything • QR code check-in at pickup • Ride history and receipts FOR DRIVERS • Accept group ride requests from your dashboard • See passenger count and pickup details upfront • QR code scanner for fast group check-in • Track earnings and request payouts • Flexible — drive when you want BUILT FOR GROUPS Cal was designed from the ground up for group travel.
