      The benefits of carpooling for students

      Save money on fuel and parking costs

      The cost of getting to and from campus each week can cost a lot of money in fuel and parking. But when you offer a carpool to campus for others, you'll receive a contribution to both.

      Reduced vehicle mileage / maintenance

      Vehicle mileage and standard servicing and maintenance costs are inevitable when you drive to the university / college every week. But when you carpool, you can make welcome cuts.

      Make new friends

      Carpooling for students is an ideal way to connect with other students within your university / college.

      Do your bit for the planet

      The benefits of carpooling for
      universities / colleges

      Reduced parking demand


      With fewer cars taking up the space, you’ll remove the need to open overflow parking areas and reduce student frustrations at peak times.

      Contribution to your net zero targets

      For each carpool booking we will provide a small donation to your net zero initiatives. As an example 100 students carpooling 3 times a week would result in a £25-£50 donation per month.

      Improved safety and air quality

      When there are fewer cars, you’ll create a clearer and safer environment for those walking, cycling and scooting to the university / college.

      New students located further away

      Carpooling availability will enable students further afield the option to apply to the university / college. Just think of the added revenue opportunities.
