These data are necessary for an optimal connection of people. When registering, the new User must certify that they are over 18 years old.

The latter thus undertakes to calculate all the costs involved in the Trip he is proposing (including fuel, tolls, repair costs, technical inspection, maintenance, depreciation and insurance of his vehicle) and to ensure that he will not derive any benefit from the amount requested from his Passengers.
2.2.4.Since MyEcoCar's activity is strictly limited to connecting people offering a carpooling Trip between individuals on a non-professional basis, Drivers cannot therefore be considered to carry out a transport activity. Under no circumstances does the MyEcoCar team intervene on the Trips, destinations or timetables, the MyEcoCar site constituting only a simple platform. The Driver does not have to ensure the obligations of a carrier. The Passenger cannot therefore expect the performance of this type of service.
