Four people want to help.
One person is doing all of it.

Carpoolio helps families share the driving to appointments — treatment, therapy, follow-ups, the standing Tuesday thing. Set the schedule once, invite everyone who offered, and let them claim the days they can cover.

Free for families.

Coordinating care for a loved one shouldn't fall on one person.

The problem usually isn't the driving. It's that there's no system for deciding who's doing Thursday — so it defaults to one person. Usually the same person. The one with the whole calendar in her head.

You don't need more relatives. You need the ones you have to be easier to organize.

How to share caregiving duties with your siblings in about five minutes.

1

Add the appointment schedule once.

Three days a week for two years. Twenty-five straight weekdays. Every other Thursday forever. Recurring is the whole point, not a workaround.

2

Invite whoever helps.

Siblings, a cousin, the neighbor from church, the friend who keeps saying "let me know if you need anything." This is that. Let them know. Text or email — they don't need the app to see the calendar.

3

Everyone claims their days.

Open days stay visibly, uncomfortably open, so nobody gets to assume it's handled. When someone drops, the group finds out that afternoon — not at 1:05.

Everything the group needs. Nothing you have to manage.

Appointment reminders for drivers and riders

The driver gets a nudge the night before and the morning of. So does the person being picked up, who has heard enough promises.

🔁

Built for recurring appointments

Set a months-long schedule once. Enter it again never.

🕳️

See uncovered rides at a glance

Empty days look empty. That's the feature.

One-off help, no commitment

Someone can grab a single Tuesday without enlisting for the whole campaign.

🔀

No single point of failure

Anyone in the group can add, swap, or release a day. Nobody has to text the one person who "handles it."

🗓️

One calendar for the whole family

Mom's appointments and the kid's practice, finally in the same place.

Let's be clear about what we're not.

  • We're not a medical transportation service. We don't send drivers. If you need non-emergency medical transportation, that's a different thing. Carpoolio organizes the people you already have.
  • We're not medical software. No diagnoses, no records, no clinical anything. You enter an address and a time. That's the whole database.
  • We're not connected to your care team's systems. Nothing links to a clinic, a portal, or an EHR.
  • We're not selling your data. No ad networks, no data brokers, not ever. Your mom's cardiology appointment is nobody's retargeting opportunity.

If you're a social worker, navigator, or care coordinator: Carpoolio is a free consumer app. Families sign up on their own and enter their own information. There is nothing to integrate, no BAA required, and nothing for you to administer.

We started geared towards kid activities. Turns out a treatment schedule and a season schedule are the same problem wearing different clothes. Carpoolio, more like Carepoolio.

Thousands of families and counting.

Families use Carpoolio to coordinate thousands of rides — to practice, to therapy, to treatment. Most of them found us because another family wouldn't stop talking about it.

"My dad has appointments three days a week and I have two brothers who both genuinely wanted to help. We just kept dropping it in the group chat. I put the whole schedule in on a Sunday night, sent them the link, and by Monday they'd claimed their days without me asking twice. I didn't realize how much of my brain that was taking up until it wasn't."

— Megan R., Overland Park, KS

"I'm the out-of-state sibling, which mostly meant I felt guilty. Now I can see the calendar, grab the days I'm in town, and actually be useful instead of just checking in."

— David T., Chicago, IL

Questions caregivers ask us.

How do I coordinate rides to appointments with my siblings?

Add the schedule once, invite them by text or email, and each person claims the days they can drive. Everyone gets reminders, and uncovered days stay visible until somebody fixes that.

Is Carpoolio really free for caregivers?

Yes. Coordinating rides is free, permanently. There's a paid tier for extras, but nothing described on this page is behind it.

Do the other drivers have to download an app?

No. They can view the schedule and claim days from a link — no excuse available.

What if the appointment schedule changes constantly?

Congratulations, you're normal. Anyone in the group can edit, and everyone gets notified.

Is this the same as non-emergency medical transportation?

No. NEMT services provide the vehicle and the driver. We organize the family and friends who already volunteered.

Can I use it for my kids' activities too?

Yes, same account. Most families do both.

What does the person being driven see?

Their own reminder with who's coming and when. No app gymnastics required.

Is my family's information private?

You only enter what's needed to coordinate a ride.

Set it up once. Stop being the only one who knows the schedule.

About five minutes. Free for families. Your siblings can handle it, we promise.
