Beat Fuel Price Rises - Join Car Share Somerset!

Fuel prices have gone up across the country today with a rise of 2 pence per litre in duty. The rise in fuel costs will begin to hit commuters hard, with an additional rise of a penny per litre due for April 2010.

With fuel prices now firmly on the rise again, many people will be looking for ways to reduce their travel costs. An effective way to do this is by car sharing. Simply sign up for free on the Car Share Somerset website, register your journey, and let the computer search through over 2,000 members to find out who is going your way.

Car Sharing 
As passengers share the petrol and parking costs, car sharing can cut the cost of the journey by at least a half – more if sharing with more people. Figures from liftshare.com indicate that the average car sharer saves £780 per year.

Car Share Somerset is a secure site provided by Somerset County Council to allow people to find others to car share with. There is no obligation to share with anyone, even after you have made contact. Car share arrangements can be flexible - you don't have to do it everyday and you can arrange lift sharing around your working pattern. You don't even have to have a car - you can register as someone looking for a lift.

Sign up today to save money! Further information is available on our dedicated Car Sharing page and the Car Share Somerset Website.
