Carpooling in India
LinqRoad lets you find or offer a carpool anywhere in India, from daily office commutes in Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Mumbai to intercity trips like Mumbai–Pune and Delhi–Jaipur. Search by pickup and drop, call the driver directly and split fuel and toll costs. No sign-up needed.
Millions of people in India drive the same routes every day with empty seats: IT corridors such as Hinjewadi, HITEC City and Electronic City, NCR commutes between Delhi, Gurugram and Noida, and weekend trips on highways like the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. LinqRoad matches drivers and riders on those routes.
Drivers can offer seats in a car or on a bike, set a price per seat in rupees, and choose preferences such as AC, music and smoking. Riders search by pickup and drop location and see rides that start and end within about 25 km of where they need to be.

Good to know in India
- Keep it to cost-sharing: split fuel and tolls rather than charging for profit. Carrying passengers for profit in a private (white-plate) vehicle can need a commercial permit, and some states have their own rules.
- Agree the price and payment method (cash or UPI) before the trip. LinqRoad doesn't handle payments or take a commission.
- Bike pooling is common for short city trips. Use the Vehicle filter to show only bikes or only cars.
- Prices are shown in Indian rupees (₹ INR) per seat and times in Indian Standard Time.
