5) Now receive an Automatic Welcome Email

6) User Certification : Our Proudest and Best Addition yet
- Level 0: When you create an account but fail to click the activation link in the welcome email, you get no medals
Level 1: If you use a free email domain [gmail/hotmail/yahoo etc] and click the activation link, you get a single medal. People know that you are a real person, with a valid email address.

Level 2: For added security, you can chose to use a non free web mail address, (your company/school). You show your commitment to carpooling and we award you with two medals!


Level 3: As a paid customer, you enjoy enhanced features of exclusive carpooling with other level 3 users. Also you can filter your search and decide who views your posts. Plus no advertisements!
7) User Certification in Action
- Based on your email address, we know if you are eligible for level 1, 2 or 3 account
1st Level: We will send a confirmation email to your address, and when you click that link, your account is confirmed and Certificated Level 1.

2nd Level: For added security use a Non free web mail address, (your company/school). We will send a confirmation email to your address, and when you click that link, your account is confirmed and Certificated Level 2.


3rd Level: If your company is registered with us, you can carpool with other verified coworkers. Also enjoy a range of extra features.

8) How “User Certification” Helps
- Others will know how committed you are to carpooling from your medal tally

9) Perks of paid customers
- Yes, it helps to be a paid customer!
- Level 3 users can choose to share their posts with All users, just certified level 3 users or only people from their sponsor organization
- Level 3 users can choose to view rides from all users, for just certified level 3 users. They can further narrow it down to rides from their sponsor organization
- Also we share the burden to verifying paid users and providing then with top notch service.
- plus you help in the development of the site!
