Google Carpool has been available in Israel for a while now. I've used it, it works great. The only problem is there aren't enough drivers here (supply). I've also used Moovit Carpool for getting rides, which works basically on the same principle, and it is great. Carpools are as "insecure" as Airbnb and Uber. It's all part of the sharing economy. I've met really interesting people in my carpools. Both companies have support in case of issues etc. I totally recommend trying out this concept. The only challenge seems to be building up a big enough database of drivers.
