High fuel costs are forcing almost half of the population to consider car sharing as a means of cutting down on expenses, a new report suggests.
The report by the AA suggested that 47% of the population are considering car sharing, although only 11% actually do so more than once a week.
“Car sharing,” said Edmund King, president of the AA, “is something that we really believe in – not only is it a good way to reduce emissions and congestion on the road, but can also save on motoring costs.”
A spokesperson for Debt Advisers Direct said that car sharing is a good way of reducing outgoings, but it may not always be enough to keep people out of debt.
“There are a lot of financial pressures on consumers at the moment, with many people being pushed into debt,” she said. “If cutting back on things like car costs and non-essential spending is not enough, it’s time to seek expert debt advice.”
