Car sharing

You would save many cash on petrol

This is the most obvious reason to start using car sharing. The whole concept behind car sharing is that drivers with a car can post details of their journey – whether they are going to their office, music festivals, or any other venue, and offer other people a place in his car for a split of the petrol cost. It is exactly the same as giving your mate their fuel’s cost after a trip, except you’re meeting new people on the road. But It’s not a taxi service because car-sharing drivers are just regular people offering up their seats and time for the good of humankind. The whole concept Is fueled by goodwill and charitable purposes.

You can meet a lot of new people

We understand that the sharing economy is relatively new and the whole concept of sharing car places with new people can be discouraging for those who are shy. It’s a common thing, we honestly get it. But as a first step you could even propose car-sharing for your office – which is a bit like a carpool, but actually reducing the number of cars involved.

If you work in a big office, this could be a great way to communicate in the mornings or after work with colleagues you haven’t even met yet, or those you’d like to chat with more often. It is good for team cohesion, and it will help your work mates save more money on travel that they can use for lunches or other things.

You are helping the environment

Car sharing definitely isn’t the same as car-pooling. Car-pooling doesn’t necessarily get fewer cars going to the same office, but car-sharing is all about getting more bodies in cars, and polluting less the atmosphere.

The amount of carbon dioxide produced by cars is still a global problem, even though the use of hybrids and electric cars. But by car sharing to a festival or place of business, you are helping get less people driving and more people enjoying cheaper travel, while making amazing social connections. It’s pretty much a win-win scenario.
