The Guru Take
Uber Pool is available in Nassau County of Long Island.
Yes, Uber offers a carpool service in Nassau County of Long Island called "UberPool". When you use UberPool, Uber will match you with strangers traveling along the same ride route as you to cut down on costs, saving you money. Lyft has a similar service called "Lyft Line", however, it appears as though this Lyft Line is not yet available in Nassau County.

Great. How do I use UberPool?
Hi, open the Uber app on your phone as normal (if you do not have the Uber app yet you will need to download it from the app store) and after you type in your destination you will be able to choose between Uber Pool and Uber X. Click on the Uber Pool icon to use their carpooling service.
I've typed in my route but I don't have any UberPool option - only Uber X and the more expensive choices.
Oh strange, their website specifically says they support UberPool in your area. Can you try contacting Uber through your app and seeing what they say? I am curious myself!
So I contacted Uber directly. It turns out that Nassau County is included in the coverage area for UberPool, but the website is incorrect. UberPool is not actually available yet in Nassau County. What a tease?
Oh Uber... why am I not surprised, haha!
Thanks for checking and sorry it didnt work out for you!
