Safety

Let’s look after each other

Bookings, trust and safety mechanisms are built into the Pooly app. Below are the trust & safety principles we want every trip to start from.

If something feels unsafe, do not travel. In an emergency, call 111. For non-urgent Pooly safety concerns, contact us through the app or email support@pooly.nz.

Before you travel

  • Check the route, date, time, pick-up point, drop-off point and cost before confirming.
  • Check other users’ ratings and reviews on their profile.
  • Share your plans with someone you trust when meeting a new driver or passenger.

For drivers

  • Drive to the conditions and follow all road rules.
  • Keep your licence, vehicle, WOF, registration and insurance suitable for the trip.
  • Be clear about luggage space, stops, timing and expectations before departure.

For passengers

  • Arrive on time and confirm the vehicle and driver before getting in.
  • Respect the driver, other passengers, vehicle rules and agreed route.
  • Do not pressure a driver to make unsafe stops or changes.

For everyone

  • Treat people with respect and avoid discriminatory, threatening or unsafe behaviour.
  • Keep communication clear and practical. Only message within the Pooly app.
  • Report serious concerns so Pooly can review them.
