Car Share Scheme
“You tend to notice you haven’t been to the petrol station for a while.” David Jason
As part of Aberdeenshire Council’s commitment to promoting alternatives to single occupancy car use the Council encourages car sharing.
Aberdeenshire Council fund a free online service for anyone interested in car sharing in Aberdeenshire. The scheme is open to car owners and those looking for a lift. Simply:
- Go to Get About Liftshare or phone 08700 111199
- Enter your journey details – where you are going, when and how often
- The system searches for possible matches and lists them for you on screen
- You can then contact potential travel companions via an automated email system
- Get About Liftshare includes a cost calculator to help you calculate the annual cost of your motoring and the potential financial savings to be made from car sharing. It also answers several frequently asked questions
- Remember car sharing might work for you some of the time or perhaps for part of a journey
There is a financial benefit to individuals who car share. Research shows the average commuter can save up to £1000 a year. There are also benefits to the wider community and environment. These include reductions in congestion and carbon emissions.
