I can't imagine why this car "sharing" is in the past tense!

Why would you bother to pick up a random stranger off the internet and take them to work for no money at all?

Did you ever offer any petrol money, I bet if your mate expected you to.

Thanks for all the advice.

One thing I would say is: if you do organise a liftshare make sure you continue looking for better deals. I was getting a lift to work with someone who contacted me through liftshare and it was working out ok. The minor inconvenience of fitting in with their routine was saving 50% of what it used to cost me on the train - a big saving over the six months I was travelling with them.

However the arrangement fell through as they found another driver on the liftshare website, hence no more room in the car for me. They didn't let me know about it until literally the week they were due to start their new arrangement, so I was left in the lurch. Although they had contacted me originally it was clear they were looking for a better "deal" the entire time whereas I had stopped looking.

Moral of the story; if you make an arrangement based on money make you sure you treat it as any other business deal ;(

I couldn't be bothered with all this lift/car sharing malarkey. I just like to get to work and come home again as quick as possible. Not waiting around to pick people up and drop them off again.

What about if you go to work late one day or you wake up ill and phone in sick. Does this mean you'll have to contact all your lift sharers too?

Life is too short.

Although I do give two people a lift home one day a week as they happen to be on the same shift that day and they both live only streets away.
