Carpooling,
re-engineered.
We are building a highly efficient, platform-native ridesharing infrastructure. No surge pricing, no algorithms. Just true cost-sharing.
Cost-Sharing, Not Surge Pricing
Drivers volunteer seats to recover gas and toll costs, capped strictly by national IRS mileage rates. Radically affordable rides that never surge.
Flexible Bidding
Negotiate within a fair range. Submit an offer to the driver, with all bids strictly capped by our system to ensure compliance with federal IRS cost-sharing limits.
Verified Squads
Built for the university network. Connect via .edu verified accounts, and use 'Squad Booking' to reserve a whole row for your friends.
Built for Mutual Benefit
Real-world example: NYC to Boston (215 miles)

Insurance Mandate
Drivers must carry a Rideshare Endorsement to close the "livery exclusion" gap in personal policies.
Escrow Protection
Payments are verified by OTP at trip start and held for 48 hours to ensure absolute dispute resolution.
Driver-Directed Trips
Drivers post trips based on their existing personal schedules; the platform never "dispatches" drivers.
Neutral Intermediary
Pliho acts as a technology marketplace connecting private parties with zero carrier liability.
