Car sharing
Car sharing is a great way of saving money on travelling costs whilst helping reduce congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions. Car sharing just once a week can slash your petrol bills by 10%.
The College has teamed up with Surrey Car Share to offer an online car share matchmaking service. This service lets you offer a lift, ask for a lift or say you're open to both. Using the service is a two step process:
- Register your details by clicking on the link below
- Then log in and register a journey you want to make - your regular commute and/or one off journeys.
For more information contact Anna Simpson, Sustainability Officer on extension 4926 (01784 414 926) or email anna.simpson@rhul.ac.uk.
Frequently asked questions
The site is 'Surrey car share', is it only for people
living in Surrey?
No, the site is part of a national network called liftshare.com.
You can register wherever you live.
What personal details are shown to other users?
The following details are the only ones shown to other users:
name, street on which your journey begins, gender, age range and
if you are a smoker.
How do I share only with staff and students from RHUL?
When you register a journey you're given the option of showing
your journey only to the Royal Holloway group or with a wider
county or national network. If you choose the Royal Holloway group
your journey will only be available to people who have registered
with a Royal Holloway email address. However, widening your search
means that you'll have more chance of a match.
Can I choose to car share with only males/females?
Yes, you can also request to share with smokers or non-smokers.
Do any other staff and students live near me?
Holloway staff and students live in Surrey, Berkshire, Greater
London and further afield. Have a look at the Staff
and Student map to see if there are many people from your
area.
