CamShare

About this organisation

Cambridgeshire has its very own free car sharing service, for anyone who wants to share all or part of their trips. It’s called CamShare.

This free online service is very easy to use. Simply register your journey, contact those people who share the same journey as you, then arrange to car share as little or as often as you like. If you’re worried about the safety of car sharing, visit our website for tips on how to keep yourself safe.

So, why car share at all? Here are some very good reasons:

Save money

When you car share with someone, you agree how you’ll split the fuel cost (and parking costs if necessary). For example, if you car share with one other person you can split the fuel costs between the two of you. Or you could decide to alternate the days that you car share so that no money is exchanged i.e. one day you car share in your car, the next day you use the other person’s car, and so on.

Meet people in your community

Car sharing is the perfect opportunity to meet new people; and because your journeys usually originate at the same place (your town or village) it’s likely that your car sharer will be someone from nearby.

Help your environment

Did you know that there are 10 million empty car seats on the UK’s roads everyday? Car sharing means fewer cars on the roads. Fewer cars on the roads mean less traffic. Less traffic means less noise and air pollution in your environment. Less pollution means a happier and healthier community!

Join CamShare today and register as a car driver/passenger or a cyclist wanting to share any journey, whether it is a regular journey (to work or the gym) or a one-off journey (to the cinema or for a festival).
