Emergency Ride Home
Vanpool with peace of mind. If an unexpected emergency comes up, eligible vanpool commuters may be able to get a ride home through the Emergency Ride Home program. Learn more.FAQ
Vans are leased from our vanpool partner: Commute with Enterprise.
Driver responsibilities are determined by each vanpool group. Some vanpools designate one primary driver, while others choose to share driving responsibilities among multiple participants. The arrangement should be based on what works best for your group and ensures a safe, reliable commute.
That depends on the size and model of your van, how many people are in your pool, how long your commute is and more. Our partner can help provide a cost estimate.
For a standard van, drivers generally only need a valid Class C driver’s license. If your vanpool uses a larger vehicle, drivers may be required to complete a DMV Class B driver medical examination.
The out-of-pocket cost of the required medical examination may be reimbursed by dibs for each new driver with proper documentation. Please retain all receipts and related paperwork for reimbursement purposes.
Our partners allow limited personal mileage in some cases. Reach out to Commute with Enterprise for more information.
Reach out to Commute with Enterprise to start a vanpool. You can also give us a call (1-800-52-SHARE), and we’ll assist you in finding a vanpool or starting your own.
If an emergency prevents you from using your regular vanpool commute, you may be eligible to use the Emergency Ride Home option available through dibs.
