Cambridgeshire Car Share

Cambridgeshire Car Share has been set up specifically for residents of Cambridgeshire to assist in the process of arranging journeys to share with several lift sharing options already in the area! The website is free to join and you have both the opportunity to advertise as a driver or as a passenger. The online database then helps you find suitable car sharing options, whether this is for your regular commute or a one-off trip to an event or concert. By sharing the same or similar journeys with other people you can save money on the cost of car travel. There are already 4,000 members of Cambridgeshire Car Share and it is estimated that the average commuter could save £1,000 per year by lift-sharing. However, why not try the online calculator on the Liftshare website to see how much money you could actually save.
