“Vroomin’s ultimate goal is to connect people to have fun & travel while decreasing greenhouse emissions,” said FOUNDER and Chief Vroomin! Babe Rhonda Zabinsky. “Whether on a regular commute to and from school or a trip across the country, each time another person comes along, the air is a little bit cleaner, someone saves money and people are brought together. After all, it is the people one meets along the way that makes travel memorable.”

Members can request various options, including the type of car, smoking or non-smoking preferences, women-only rides or mixed, bike rack, and room for extra luggage or skis.


VROOMIN.COM ALSO HAS A TRAVEL ABROAD SECTION
This is where students can find international study, work and teach English abroad program information

Here you can post messages for travel related ideas such as “lookin’ for a travel buddy” or lookin’ for someone to share travel expenses, transportation costs for travel outside of North America. In addition, a Cyber Classified section posts messages for people who have, or need, extra space for moving, and who need, or are available to drive vehicles to a particular destination.

Vroomin.com was created by a fellow student to combine her commitment to the environment with her experience in student life and her enthusiasm for bringing people together to have fun through travel.
