CAR SHARING

If you regularly commute to your workplace by car you could save up to £50 a month by sharing your journey with a colleague. Car sharing (also called lift sharing, ridesharing and carpooling) is simply an agreement between two individuals to travel together by car, reducing fuel costs without giving up the convenience and comfort of a car. Car sharing can be used for any type of journey, both business and leisure. Feedback from regular car sharers tells us that they feel safer, enjoy the chance to have a chat and even make new friends. The benefits will be felt much more widely too, since congestion and pollution are both reduced by having less cars on the road.

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

You don’t need your own car to be a member; you can offer a lift, request a lift or take turns driving – whatever suits your needs! Sharing a car is a great way to reduce your travel costs and cut your carbon footprint.

What is Suffolk Car Sharing? Suffolk Car Share provide a journey matching service for all those who live, work and travel in and around your area. It is absolutely free to use and has been built and designed for every possible user such as commuters, students, football supporters or employees. Simply, register at SuffolkCarShare.com and share your fuel costs!

When can I share a car? You do not have to own a car or even have a driving license to join the scheme and find a lift, 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? There are numerous benefits to car-sharing, including: reduce stress of travelling as the driving can be shared between drivers; saving you money as the travel costs are shared; reducing the number of cars on the road, resulting in less congestion, pollution and parking problems; and it reduces the need to own a private car.
