Transport is the UK's largest source of emissions. Most of this is from privately owned cars. EVs are brilliant, but we can't just replace them 1:1. Most cars are unused 96.5% of the time (according to the RAC). So sharing them makes sense.
Many people need to own cars. Others value the convenience of accessing one when they need it but don't actually want the hassles and expense of owning one.
Our vision is of a future with fewer cars, where we have shared EVs available on our streets when we need them, and where the space outside our houses can be used for other things.
Borrow a neighbour's car for no monthly fee. Use it when you need a spare car, or when yours breaks down. Or completely avoid the hassle and cost of owning a car altogether.
We're working with a commercial partner called Hiyacar, who provide an app-based service which is essentially 'airbnb for cars'. The Woodstock Car Share community can sign-up to lend and borrow cars at a commercial rate, insurance is added to the cost of hourly car-rental automatically by the app .
Hiyacar has set up what's called a 'closed-loop' for Woodstock Car Share. That means that only people living in Woodstock can see the available cars. Sign up to the free Hiyacar app as a driver or list your car as an owner.
Share the costs of car ownership with your neighbours. Let your car be used by others when you're not using it yourself. Reduce emissions and improve your local streets. Meet your neighbours and contribute positively to the Woodstock community.
