As a member of a car club, you provide more space for people by not having a car lying around as do with 90% spending parked according to a recent survey. Reducing your carbon footprint by simply cutting out your car’s maintenance costs altogether and associated activities would be very carbon-helpful.
♻️ Why car sharing is good for the environment
Sharing a car provides more space and convenience than a shared taxi or bus. You can have a variety of vehicles ranging from a compact to a luxury SUV. You may have your pick of a car, you may prefer an electric car, you may be able to use public transport, and if the trip is very short, you may have to get the car yourself. Car sharing provides an alternative to owning a car but can also relieve a lot of stress on your shoulders with the offer of such a transportation service. It’s an accessible option that has helped small and medium-sized businesses save money with the use of a company car or a van.
👛 Why car sharing is good for your wallet
Having no car is very advantageous to the average individual, and if you live in a city or a neighbourhood where you don’t own a car, being a member of a car club is an excellent way to save a significant amount of cash. Having a car with no maintenance costs can be very favourable for the pockets of an individual because this allows them to save on fuel, insurance and tyre costs. Car sharing also makes sense as most car clubs allow you to carpool in the same vehicle to other members or venues. This carpooling helps eliminate vehicle costs with car sharing members. Car sharing also enables you to cut down on the number of trips you make. Most car clubs also allow you to share any other services you may need.

👇 Conclusion
It’s time for more people to ask these questions and join those looking to save money. Imagine that money spent on insurance, maintenance, fuel and toll fees can instead be saved through car sharing. These costs might be up a little bit but how about an extra few hundred euros each year on your income and having a cleaner, greener lifestyle? 🍃
