VANPOOL Make Friends, Save Time and Money!

3 TYPES OF VANPOOLS

• Third-party vans leases the vanpool vehicle for a monthly fee that includes the vehicle operating cost, insurance, and maintenance.

• Owner-operated vans - An individual leases or purchases a van and operates the van independently.

• Employer-provided vans - The employer buys or leases vans for employees' commute use. The employer organizes the vanpool riders and insures and maintains the vehicles.

Per Seat Cost EXAMPLE: Leasing cost = $ 1,400 Passengers = 10 $1,400 divided by 10 = 140.00 The per seat cost would be $ 140.00
