“Car sharing has been a completely positive experience for me. As the 2 of us don't have the same starting point or end point we don't share the actual driving just the costs. We met through the liftshare.com website which enables you to search for other registered users with similar journeys. Car sharing has halved our travel and parking costs and has meant company in the inevitable M62 traffic jams - highly recommended!”

Dan Flynn, Senior Business Analyst - HBOS

“This is the second time you have found me a match, saving the environment, saving me money, and halving the amount of hassle of being stuck in traffic (getting chauffered every other time).
The first time I was living in Newport, and you found me someone who worked in the SAME OFFICE. This time I have moved, and yet again this excellent, simple service has benefited two people and mother nature ;)”

“I read an article in a local paper with details of your website. I thought I would give it a go, but was quite pessimistic about getting a match, as I live in Beverley and work in Acomb in York and my hours are quite awkward. As it happened, I did find a match - someone who lives on the same street as me! His hours are fairly flexible, so it has worked out well, and it has only added about 5 minutes to my journey time when I drive. What a success story! 

“”

“I have arranged to car share two days in the week. (He)drives Mondays and I drive Wednesdays. It wouldn't work for any more as he works longer hours than I do, but at least it saves two car-days a week. As I cycle Tuesdays & Thursdays, I only have to drive twice a week. On Fridays, it might even be possible to multi-mode with train & bike.”

David

“”

“Thank you”

Val

“I have made a good friend, I am saving the environment and money each month.”

Beckie

“This is a brilliant site...but not enough people know about it which is a shame... it should be heavily advertised by the government.. as it is them that want to reduce the number of vehicles on our roads... I am sure that the this site should be able to qualify for a government grant to help with awareness so that more people can use it and benefit from it... 

“goose..”

Goose

“I have arranged to share with .... on two days in the week. He drives Mondays and I drive Wednesdays. It wouldn't work for any more (days) as he works longer hours than I do, but at least it saves two car-days a week. As I cycle Tuesdays & Thursdays, I only have to drive twice a week. On Friday's, it might even be possible to multi-mode with train & bike.”

“Hi, been a while since I visiting the site. Very impressed with new look etc. Especially like route map facility - very helpful.  

“Will try to get more of my routes on here when possible.  

“Keep up the good work.”

Robin

“I joined the liftshare website about 6 months ago looking to see whether there was a genuinely convenient person I could travel with. I travel by car as it takes at least three times longer to get to work by bus. However, it would also be nice to minimise the wear and tear on my car. Within 2 days of registering, I was contacted by someone who lives close by, exactly on my route, who doesn't drive. While this does not (yet) save me wear and tear, it does bring in a modest income towards petrol, and still saves my colleague over 50% of his previous travel expenses and around 2 hours a day. When he passes his test i'm hoping we can share the driving responsibilities!”

Ross

“Turned out we are both Apple Mac fans. Money I saved buys me lunch and refreshments.”

Roy

“Dear Ali I have enjoyed sharing journeys with Claire Gill from Frome to Trowbridge and our lift share has been most satisfactory. Compliments of the Season and best wishes for 2008.”

Caroline

“Thank you so much for this service and the help it has given me. I dreaded the daily bus journey when I started work as I do not drive myself. Now I have a cheery drive and we share the cost of petrol.”

Jacqui

“I think liftshare is a fantastic idea, something which should be mandatory in places actually! I find your website simple and effect, and the fact that it is free to join is also a bonus.”

Kim

“I think this service is brillant.”

Odette

“Yes we did share on 14th from Plymouth to Truro, as mums we both can let off steam about teenagers with repercussions!!! Had just dropped Julia off when I heard the Chris Evans interview. 

“We are "chums having fun on the run!" We don't always moan!!”

Sue

“Thanks for the email, we had our 7 seater full for the first time ever! It was absolutely brilliant - we all felt like we were off on a coach trip rather than just going to work.”

Roger

“I have recently been contacted by somebody in my area and we have decided to liftshare full time starting in the next couple of weeks. I'd like to thank you for your service and I thought I would just let you know. Thanks again.”

Will

“I'm really proud to car share. Its so important that we take responsiblity for our environment.”

Emma

“Great site. After driving 130 miles round trip to work every weekday for years alone, I re-visited your site, as you sent me a liftsharing day reminder. Just had 2 positive responses, and hope to car share next week. Thank you.”

Susan

“Lift sharing has made my working life more bearable.
I am pleased I'm not going to look for a different job now.
65 miles each way was getting a bore for me.
Now it's more enjoyable.
Good to meet like-minded people.
I've shared the site with colleagues in our environment group, who are impressed.”

Susan

“I love liftsharing. I hope that your site goes from strength to strength. Best wishes, and well done for a fantastic scheme.”

My CarBUDi mate is extremely reliable and great company. With a 90 mile a day round trip, we have already saved a small fortune between us. If only I had been able to start doing this 2 years ago! I have recommended it (and liftshare in particular) to all my friends and colleagues.”

Emma

“Great match and had a great journey. Great site! Thanks a lot.”

Olly

“Thanks for a successful match with another 3 liftsharers. We all look forward to many months of reduced motoring to and from work.”

Anthony

“First journey into work lift sharing today, and in early. Can’t thank the site enough for putting me in touch, there are 3 of us in the share now. So petrol will reduce from £60 to £20 and of course the environmental gains. Superb thanks.”

Tony

“Great organisation by the way. I have two lifts to London from my door.”

Keith

“I think your service is an excellent idea. I used it for trying to arrange transport for people without transport.”
