Car Share & Lift Share Schemes<br />
Car sharing<br />
Car-sharing is when two or more people share a car and travel together. Car-sharing<br />
is a simple way to cut the costs of fuel and parking, reduce congestion and pollution,<br />
and cut the stress of driving. Berkshire Car Share is focused on providing commuters<br />
living and working within Berkshire, the opportunity to meet with others travelling<br />
similar journeys to promote taking a single vehicle between them, rather than one<br />
each. Berkshire Car Share is part of the National, shareAcar.com group and<br />
promotes a safer environment for car sharing. Visit www.shareacar.com/berkshire for<br />
full details.<br />
Liftshare is an online scheme whereby you can create and manage your journeys<br />
and also match up with someone to carshare with. You can also search for a BUDi to<br />
share your bike, walking or taxi journey. www.liftshare.com/uk<br />
Car Clubs - Carplus is the UK’s pioneering transport NGO supporting the<br />
development of affordable, accessible and low-carbon car-sharing clubs and ridesharing<br />
service.<br />
Car clubs are about providing a car when you need it. Ideal for those require a car on<br />
an infrequent basis for longer journeys. Instead of buying a car or considering the<br />
need for a second car, join a car club and ‘hire’ from someone in your local<br />
community. Hire charges include insurance. Cars can be hired for an hour, a day or<br />
a week. If you have a car, but don’t fully utilise it, you can offer your car to others.<br />

Car clubs are a local solution to individuals or families who don’t need a car for all<br />
their regular journeys; share with someone else. The benefits are financial and<br />
reduce the number of cars in use, reducing emissions and congestion. For full<br />
details, terms and conditions, please see the web site.
