well we want to help make it a better experience for you so you can start your
morning off on a good note! Once youâve got a great N Charlotte Toyota, you can

1. Gather the group and set the schedule. Determine who will be participating
in the group commute and who will be driving. Itâs important to establish
what day each driver will be driving, and what times the car will be arriving
at each house for pick-up.
2. Plan a route and how to split expenses. Institute a route and how to split
costs like fuel, tolls and parking meters.
3. Be punctual! Be respectful of other peopleâs schedules and make sure to be
on time each morning. Running late can cause the entire group to run late
which creates stress and tension.
4. Establish rules for the car! Discuss etiquette like talking on the phone and
eating in the car, or music choices.
5. Have a backup plan! If the driver of the day happens to become ill or has to
call out, ensure there is a designated driver to take over.
