Save Money Car Sharing Nationally?

Hi...sorry of this is in the wrong place but I thought it might help some of us who have to travel the length and breadth of the UK...on a budget!

http://www.nationalcarshare.co.uk/

I am thinking of registering a "one off" request if I go for my challenge of a trip to Amsterdam in October on a shoestring budget.....will need a lift either to Stansted or Harwich!

See what you think of the site and pass it on! I think this is a brilliant idea.

    Know what you mean but you can choose to travel with a girl/lady (not that they are all exclusively sane!!) if that helps. Also I am going to read further as I presume you have to register name & address etc and you can let people know what you are doing so they know when to expect you etc.

    I guess people have to make their own decisions on this but it's great to have the option I feel. :T
