Created by: Amy Young Based on Liftshare member feedback, the main reasons people use Liftshare are as follows: - **Reduces the costs of travelling** As you're splitting your costs in half (or more when sharing with more than one person) it's cheaper than nearly all other forms of motorised transport. On average, Liftshare members save £1034 each per year. Find out how much you could save with our [Liftshare Savings Calculator](https://liftshare.com/uk/savings-calculator). - **Getting around when you don't drive** Public transport can be expensive, or simply not feasible where you live. Lift-sharing, in contrast, is affordable and Liftshare makes it easy to find someone to share with. - **Environmental benefits** Every car taken off the road cuts CO2 emissions and protects the environment. - **Cuts congestion and pollution** The more people car-share, the fewer cars on the road and the quicker everyone will get to where they're going. With less pollution along the way too. - **Have company on a journey, make new friends and network** Sharing reduces the stress of driving alone and helps you meet people. If you're sharing with a colleague you can unwind together after a day at work. - **Reduces parking problems** Ever struggled getting a space at work? Liftshare for Work schemes allow organisations to reward lift-sharers with priority parking spaces and other incentives. - **Helping others out** Liftshare drivers get a sense of satisfaction by helping those who can't drive get from A to B more affordably and conveniently.
