Liftshare

Liftshare is a social enterprise. It was set up in 1997 with the initial aim of making more efficient use of the millions of empty cars on UK roads by encouraging and enabling more people to share their car journeys.  

The success of liftshare's national network of online car sharing systems recently encouraged the development of several more innovative transport solutions, including walking, cycling and taxi BUDi matching.

liftshare are recognised internationally as leaders in the field of online journey matching and the UK's liftshare network is seen as the best practice example.

All of our services are extensively tried and tested at the piloting stage. Only by listening to what our customers want, and keeping on top of industry trends can we provide 'best practice' and 'best value' solutions.

Before liftshare was founded in 1997, organised journey sharing was almost unheard of in the UK. Since then, through our continuous campaigning at both grass root and government levels, the concept of a UK journey-sharing database has now become a reality.

Our mission statement is simple; “To encourage and enable more efficient travel and transport”
