Liftshare member stories

Open all

Liftshare has helped me massively with travel costs and time spent travelling - being disabled it has had a very positive effect on me. My lift share went the extra mile, offering to collect me from work when she's off.

I've saved around £1500 in 6 months, and often four of us use one car for the usual daily 50-mile trip. Definite friendship has occurred which wouldn't have happened without Liftshare.

The best thing about lift-sharing is knowing that I am getting an extra car off the road and also saving someone some money. It has helped me as I have company, which makes my journey more fun.

I use Liftshare every day to help with the cost of travel. I find it interesting hearing different perspectives from the people I meet. On some journeys, we've been talking so much, we pick up the conversation again on the return leg.
