"I have lift-shared with three different people for varying lengths of time. It is great fun and a good way to make friends and help with petrol costs as well. The only reason any of these arrangements ended was due to a change in people's work or address. You need to be a bit flexible and keep in touch, especially if plans change at short notice as they so often can with work. This system is based on common courtesy and used by like-minded people with a concern for the environment. I would recommend it to anyone, with personal safety advice taken as a proviso."

"Over 400 other organisations in the UK have a private group scheme"

Whether you work for a company, charity or other type of organisation, whether your office is big or small, whether you're based in an urban area or in the countryside, car-sharing can help you in a number of ways.

  • Reduce travel costs
  • Reduce parking costs
  • Reduce levels of traffic and congestion
  • Reduce CO2 emissions and pollution
  • Help fulfil planning requirements
  • Improve relations with the local community
  • Widen the recruitment catchment area for staff
  • Improve your corporate image
  • Form a key part of your Travel Plan
  • Automated monitoring and environmental reporting tool

Companies and organisations can set up a private group for their staff within 2carshare.com. A private site enables a company to have its own restricted groups for its staff. Staff are therefore able to search for matches amongst their colleagues. Rather uniquely staff can also search the West of England and National database for matches without displaying any travel details.

Private groups enable access to a complexly automated monitoring facility, lots of other advice and guidance is given.

Other initiatives such as Walk, Bike and Taxi BUDi are also available. To find out more please contact us.
