Maximum price per seat, one way, including card fee and Pooly’s service fee. Contributions are capped at 18c per km per seat, so drivers recover their costs but don’t make a profit. Prices are based on approximate road distances.
Why Pooly
Faster than the bus.
Better than hitchhiking.
Always affordable.
Fuel is expensive and New Zealand is a long country. Sharing the drive splits that cost.
On Pooly, you choose who you’re travelling with.
Honest reviews
Drivers and passengers review each other after every trip, so the next person knows what to expect.
Verified drivers
Every driver verifies their ID before they can post a trip. Passengers can verify too.
Payment held
You pay in the app and Pooly holds the money until after the trip. No cash to sort out on the day.
Where to next?
Share the drive, share the cost.
