High Petrol Prices Ignites Car Sharing Trend
Recent research by the AA Insurance says Britons are heading becoming a car sharing nation due to the high cost of petrol prices.
Figures show almost half the population that was surveyed are considering car sharing yet only about 11%, or 1 in 10, admitted to actually sharing the drive.
As petrol prices continue to add pressure on the family budget, more and more people are seriously considering splitting the costs by car sharing. The AA says of the 5.5 million Brits that already do car share do it mainly to save money. About one third say they car share for environmental reasons such as reducing carbon emissions.
The AA car insurance group strongly believes in car sharing as a viable way to reduce pollution, save on petrol, and lower congestion on our nation’s roads. It is suggested that drivers should check insurance policies as some car insurers may not cover you in cases where you might car share to go to business meetings. You may need to upgrade to ‘occasional business use’ if that is the case. Also, be respectful of others, particularly when sharing with people you may not know very well.
