Why car share?
Running a car is becoming more and more costly – by sharing journeys with someone else you can instantly halve your fuel costs.
Car sharing cuts the number of cars on the roads – easing congestion and reducing the demand for parking spaces.
It can be a great way to meet new friends and take the stress out of motoring.
Car sharing is an easy way to do your bit for the environment and help cut exhaust emissions.
Car sharing tips
Be punctual and make sure you stick to your route and pickup times
Set up a cost sharing arrangement from the start – if you are not sharing the driving equally make sure you are clear about how costs will be shared
Swap phone numbers and make sure you notify your fellow car sharers if you are ill or not able to make the pickup
Drive carefully and keep the car clean and in good condition
Give it time to work – it might take a few weeks to settle into a pattern but many car sharers find they enjoy the experience
Safety precautions
Try to meet anyone you might share a car with in a public place first before making a firm commitment to travel together.
Don't reveal too much personal information up front.
Check each others driving licences, MOT certificates and insurance documents
Swap emergency contact numbers in case you are in an accident
Set ground rules about eating, drinking, the radio, smoking etc
Use common sense and trust your instincts
