Car sharing will help save you money by splitting the petrol costs, reducing the amount of congestion on the roads leading into the festival, and getting you onsite quicker. Of course by car sharing you’ll also be kinder to the environment by reducing fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions. If you have to come by car to the festival because the bus or train just won’t work for you, please try and fill up all the seats in your car.
So Double Up & Cut Down … if you’ve got to drive, offer a lift to fill up your free seats.
Below are two schemes you can join. Have a look through them and see which one suits you.
Safety First
- Please read this practical safety guide on liftsharing put together by A Greener Festival: www.agreenerfestival.com/Lift_Sharing.pdf
- Please note that all arrangements which you make are private arrangements between you and other sharers. The Festival does not arrange lift sharing or have any liability to or for lift sharers.
- Make sure you know the identity of the person or persons you are sharing with.
- Having a home telephone number is sensible precaution and make sure you leave details of the lift share, the driver and passenger's number(s) and home address if possible with friends and/or family.
- Take your mobile phone with you.
- If you are at all uncomfortable with any arrangements, or the condition of the vehicle being used, then make other plans.
- If a vehicle is not taxed it is possible the driver has no driving license, no insurance and no MOT.
- Safety first: trust your instincts and use common sense.
