“"liftshare are totally committed to the actual concept of carsharing. As well as providing a comprehensive but simple to use service to the individual user, they have a firm understanding of transport issues faced by both local authorities and large employers. They have used this knowledge and have developed their product to cater for these needs, offering packages that are tailored to meet any specific requirements.
In their work with Regional Transport Partnerships, liftshare have developed a multi-level, model that allows the concept of carsharing to be monitored by the Partnership, promoted by the Local Authority and administered by the employers and organisations themselves. In my experience, as a client within such a model, I found it to be a most effective and efficient way of working".”
