A shared car instead of your own
Your own car stands still most of the time, but its costs keep running. In cities and larger towns, car sharing, peer-to-peer rental and public transport together can replace your own car more cheaply. This guide helps you do the maths and try it out.
You will need
- Your own car’s costs for a year
- A driving log or an estimate of your trips
- A driving licence and a payment card
- A phone and the services’ apps
