    I didnt like lift sharing either, there were to many negatives. I think the only ones who like lift sharing are the ones who get picked up and save on the cost of running a car for a few quid petrol each day.

    yeah its a cracking deal for the non car owner...you get to be driven around at cheaper than bus rates in a comfy heated /cooled car year round from your doorstep

    would have to pay very well for me to consider it

    let em keep the tenner and sort thier own travel out imo

    The whole point of the car share is that its financially win win.

    The OP gets a contribution to the petrol she would be paying anyway (and is therefore better off) the other party pays less than they would on public transport.....

    I dont know the difference in seniority, but personally I'd be thinking of around about £15 a week...

    have you already spoken about a price? or has she volunteered to pay and you are trying to work it out?
