How tango ridesharing works

Step 1

Find or post a ride request

Browse inside El Compas or share your own travel plans. Include your departure city, destination, date and related tango event.

Step 2

Connect with another dancer

Discuss whether your routes and timings work together. Check pickup options, luggage space and the return journey.

Step 3

Agree on the details

Confirm the meeting point, departure time and any contribution towards fuel, tolls or parking before travelling.

Carpooling for dancers

Share the journey, not just the destination

Tango carpooling can help you share travel costs and enjoy the trip with people who share your passion for dancing. Whether you’re heading to a marathon, festival or a nearby tango event, El Compas gives your ride request a place where other dancers can find it.

Questions about sharing a ride

Can I find and offer rides on El Compas?

Yes. Post a request when you need a ride or offer a journey when you have space in your car. Include your route and date to help other dancers decide whether your plans fit theirs.

Where can I see ride requests?

Ride requests are available inside the app. If you don’t find a suitable journey, post your own request so other dancers can discover your plans.

Does El Compas organise the transport?

El Compas helps dancers connect and coordinate their journeys. The driver and passengers arrange the ride directly; posting a request does not confirm a seat or booking.

How do we agree on shared costs?

Discuss any contribution towards fuel, tolls and parking directly with the other dancer. Agree on the amount and payment arrangements before departure.

Can I arrange a return ride too?

Include your return date and destination in your request or conversation so everyone understands the full journey.
