Why Car Share?
Car sharing provides a number of benefits to you, the person you’re sharing with and the environment as a whole, including:
- Reducing the number of cars on the roads, resulting in less congestion, less pollution and fewer parking problems
- Reducing car commuter mileage by around 11% (if just one in ten car drivers started car-sharing with others and given that sharers usually drive above average distances)
- Providing employees and employers with more transport options
- Reducing the need for private car ownership
- Saving you money - travelling with others enables you to reduce your transport costs by up to £1000 a year.
- The UK could cut its CO2 emissions by 9 million tonnes a year simply by increasing the average car occupancy levels from 1.7 to 2 people per car.
