An early Christmas present if you Liftshare

Towards the end of the year saving becomes ever-more urgent as the demands on our personal finances increase significantly in December. And Christmas is only 10 weekends away!

So, as petrol prices continue to rise to record highs and Christmas creeps around the corner, the  number of people signing up to the UK’s leading car-sharing scheme – Liftshare –  is also rising. Now why not join in, it’s the perfect time…

Liftshare Week, which runs from 7– 11 October 2013 is an opportunity to find a perfect match to share the costs of a daily commute plus have an opportunity to win £250 worth of fuel.

Liftshare is free to join and use, and there are over 370,000 members currently sharing or looking for sharers.

Norman Hadley from Preston has seen a significant difference to his bank balance since he joined Liftshare:  “The cost of fuel makes the case for car-sharing overwhelming. I estimate my car pool keeps about £150 a month in my pocket that would otherwise glug down my filler cap. At typical levels of taxation, that’s equivalent to a salary rise of £2,500. And I have to ask myself, in the absence of a banker’s bonus, where else is that kind of money going to come from?”

Top 3 reasons to start sharing:

1. The UK is the third most expensive place to buy diesel in the world

3. According to the AA the average British family spends more on fuel than they do on food
