Car Sharing

By sharing your car journeys, not only are you reducing the number of vehicles on the road but you’re probably saving money too!

Lift sharing has many benefits;

→ Reducing the cost of travelling;

→ Undercuts the cost of nearly all forms of motorised transport;

→ Cuts congestion and pollution;

→ Reduces parking problems; and

→ It’s a great way to network and make new friends!

Liftshare has been set up 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.

It is estimated that the average commuter could save £1,000 per year by lift-sharing, so with many potential suitable trips offered, why not sign up and find out. You could also try the online savings calculator on the Liftshare website to see how much money you could actually save for your particular trip.
