Car Sharing: The Perfect Solution to a Guilt-Free Holiday
Eco-friendly transfers
When visiting a new location, it's always nice to have the freedom to move around and explore the area's hidden secrets. Do you and your partner want to share an intimate, peaceful moment on the shores of a crystal-clear loch? Or do you and your friends want to sip a lager in the cosy pub of a nearby medieval village? Whatever your plans are, driving will often be required.
In this sense, car sharing is ideal. Book your vehicle, travel the distance you need, and drop it off for somebody else to use. If you are in a group, you can get to your desired destination at the same time - nobody gets lost or left behind. What is more, by travelling in a single car you are helping the environment significantly.
Importantly, it decreases traffic congestion. Indeed, fewer cars on the road mean that you are less likely to get stuck in a traffic jam. Moreover, you will help reduce air pollution as less toxic gas will be released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, if more travellers end up resorting to car sharing, there will be more opportunities to create green spaces. Ultimately, with fewer vehicles around, there will be less need for parking spaces!
Save your spending money
If you are stacking up the miles, chances are you'll be forced to make frequent pit-stops along the way. There is no hiding that, in the long run, refuelling your own vehicle can become quite expensive.
By car sharing, you can nullify your fuel expenses and save precious spending money. Not only that, but you will also not have to worry about potential, unwanted mishaps. If anything troubles your rented vehicle, it will be the company's duty to cover the cost of potential maintenance issues (i.e. flat tyres, dead batteries, engine failure).
Hire the car you want
The beauty of car sharing is that you can hop into a vehicle that best suits you and your fellow holidaymakers. It is fair to say, in fact, that a car can have a significant impact on your vacation. If it is relatively small, for instance, it will make your passengers uncomfortable. Not to mention that, if you are driving through treacherous countryside paths, a compact vehicle may struggle to take you from A to B.
Moreover, you also have the chance to pick a green, sustainable option. Indeed, why not hire an electric car? By hitting Britain's roads in an electric vehicle, you will be travelling across the country without harming the environment.
Stay in one place for longer
Fancy discovering all the hidden gems scattered around the Lake District? There is no need to travel for miles and miles to experience an unforgettable holiday. Indeed, by spending your staycation in a single location, you'll be able to truly fall in love with the place in question. Sift through its alleyways, chat to the residents, taste the local produce - you'll become an honorary citizen by the end of the holiday!
