Car Pooling

If you don't want to invest in a car and you don't need it on a daily basis then car clubs are a great way to go. In fact if you drive between 2 000 and 11 000 kilometres a year it might be worth looking more closely at car pooling.

The memberships vary with some clubs charging a monthly fee, others having a range of membership options depending on how much you use the car. All associated costs such as insurance and registration fees will be included in your fees.

It is also possible to have a car placed in your area if you can get enough neighbors interested - so get out and chat to the people around you. What is better than to have a car parked locally, that you pay for when you use and share responsibility for. It is cheaper than owning your own and you can book over the internet making it very convenient if you don't need a car every day.
