Carpooling in Jersey

Triskel Ride is a carsharing App tailormade for the island of Jersey, created, developped and designed by Jersey people for Jersey people. We are offering to connect people looking for rides with people offering rides. Travelling greener by sharing vehicles will reduce traffic congestion especially at peak times and reduce greenhouse gases emissions. This is a sustainable way of travelling across the island while saving petrol and parking money. Why use several cars when you can travel in only one ?

The service is very popular to anyone with an interest in environmental issues, and particularly attractive to people commuting to work every day and keen to save money on parking and time on the road while reducing their carbon footprint !
Carsharing with Triskel Ride is for anyone over the ages of 18. You can "Offer a ride", "Find a ride" or "Request a ride".
Offer a ride : You have a car and are looking for people to share a journey with you ?
Find a ride : You are looking for an existing advert placed by someone with a vehicle ?
Request a ride : You have not yet found a ride corresponding to what you are looking for, you can request the trip yourself !

Ride share schemes are legal when operated correctly. Ride sharing is driver-led and works by connecting people travelling a single journey in the same direction so they can travel together and share the cost of the journey. Drivers are covered on their standard insurance as long as they do not make a profit. Car share schemes use a capped fee structure to ensure that their users are insured. Carsharing became available again on 08/08/2020 when Jersey moved into Level 1 of the Safe Exit Framework.

Car share operators in the UK use the Approved Mileage Payment Allowance (HMRC) as a guide to calculate the acceptable cost of a journey. In the UK the figure is £0.40 per mile. In Jersey this is known as the Flat Rate Mileage allowance (gov.je). That figure is £0.60 per mile. This is a total amount and not per person.

We are fully aware of the ongoing pandemic and concerns Members have with regards to the risks of contamination. We understand that the current climate is not ideal to promote a car sharing App however, we also believe that if hygiene measures are followed and guidelines are respected, users may feel safer in a private vehicle than perhaps they may on public transport. Listed below are essential guidelines that should be followed at all times when car sharing:

• Open windows for ventilation.
• Face away from each other.
• Ride with the same people to limit exposure.
• Travel side by side or behind other people.
• Consider seating arrangements to maximise distance between people in the vehicle.
• Clean your car between journeys using standard cleaning products.
• Clean door handles and other areas that people may touch.
• Ask the driver and other passengers to wear a face covering.
• Limit the number of people and close contact within vehicle.
• Sanitise your hands before entering the car.
• Follow cough / sneeze etiquette.
• Handle your own items.

As a passenger you can pay with Paypal, as well as by debit / credit card.
All payments are processed via the App before the journey. Payments are made when driver and passenger have confirmed the booking.

As a driver you get paid via Paypal. Driver payments are credited to their Paypal account on the 15th and 28th of the month or nearest business day.
