Are you wasting hundreds of pounds a year on fuel by driving alone?

If there are no public transport services to your destination or it is too far to walk or cycle, it is still easy to save money by car sharing. You can car share for commuting, business, shopping, personal or any other trips.

Car sharing is where two or more people share a car together, cutting the cost of fuel, parking and the stress of driving. You do not even need to have your own car, as many drivers are happy to give a lift in exchange for a contribution to the journey’s fuel costs.
