Car Share
With more cars on the roads, car sharing schemes are becoming increasingly popular.
Car sharing can help combat congestion, reduce the stress of driving, cut CO2 emissions, and save you money. You can car share on most journeys, from commuting to one-off events.
There are a number of online car-sharing schemes which help you to get in touch with others looking to share a journey by car, as a driver or as a passenger. To residents at Highfields, we recommend Liftshare.com which is the first and largest car-sharing system provider in the UK.
Joining Liftshare.com is free! Simply register your journey details abnd your usual travel patterns, and you can see if there is anyone you can share your journey with. You can then decide if you want to make contact via the website.
