What is Car Sharing?

Car sharing is when two or more people share a car and travel together. It allows people to benefit from the convenience of the car, whilst alleviating the associated problems of congestion and pollution.

When can I Share a Car?

You can share a car for any journey - getting to work, doing the weekly shop, taking the children to school, going to the match at the weekend, travelling to a festival, event or show, getting to or from university, visiting friends or getting to the airport.

What are the Benefits of Sharing a Car?

  • It saves you money - travelling with others enables you to reduce your transport costs by up to £1000 a year
  • It reduces the number of cars on the roads - resulting in less congestion, less pollution and fewer parking problems
  • it provides a real solution to the transport problems of rural areas
  • it gives employees and employers more transport options, and
  • it reduces the need for a private car
