Car Sharing

It is estimated that there are 38 million empty car seats on the UK’s roads every weekday. Why not try to reduce the number of vehicles on the road by sharing your journey with other people?

By sharing your trip as either a passenger or a driver, you can save up to around £1000 a year on the cost of fuel and parking, as well as meeting new people.

Car sharing can be used for various purposes. You could be commuting your regular journeys or one-off trips to concerts and events. Liftshare has been set up with an aim to simplify the process of lift sharing and to make it convenient for you.

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