WELCOME TO NATIONAL CARSHARE

The UK's longest-established free national car sharing service.

"Lift sharing", "ride-sharing", "car-sharing" or "carpooling" -it doesn't matter what you call it, it boils down to the same thing - two or more people sharing a car to get from A to B rather than driving alone. The benefits are numerous both for yourself, your family, your community and the environment. You save money on running costs, you save time looking for parking spaces and you help to save the planet by reducing your carbon footprint.

If everyone who drives on their own to work every day were to catch a lift with someone just once a week, the commuting car journeys would reduce by 20%! And both parties would save money!

Car sharing is becoming increasingly popular as the benefits are acknowledged, and many communities and employers are introducing carsharing schemes. But car sharing is often given last billing when it comes to environmental transport because there are so many misunderstandings associated with it - just see our FAQs to get the clear picture.

Please note that we cannot accept enquiries for specific journeys by telephone. Due to Data Protection Act restrictions and Personal Safety concerns as well as our own integrity we cannot give this information out. The only way you can find out if there are other members matching your requirements is to become a member yourself by going to the "Register" page.

Save money. Save time. Save the planet. Register now with National CarShare. It's FREE!

Change Your World - One mile at a time

01-07 July 07
Change Your World

Ever wonder how life would be if we travelled in ways that benefited our health and our environment? We'd have safer roads, cleaner air and a better quality of life.

It's easier to do than you think. Change Your World is asking you to swap just one car trip from 1-7 July and choose something that's better for the planet instead.

And guess what? If we all give up one car journey that week we'll reduce car traffic by 10%. Fancy giving it a go? Sign up now. Stuck for ideas? Or already car-free? Visit Inspire me.


Calculate your carbon footprint

According to the National Energy Foundation, the average UK car running at 29 mpg will produce 36 Kg of CO2 (equivalent to 9.8 Kg of carbon) every 100 miles. Calculate your own carbon footprint.


Reduce your car's Co2 emissions

All cars on the road today contribute to climate change because their engines burn fuel and therefore produce carbon dioxide (CO2) every time we drive. Yet you can easily reduce these emissions and save money too. By following a few simple tips and suggestions you can reduce your engine's workload, which means it will burn less fuel and produce less CO2. Act on CO2
