Car Sharing with 2CarShare.com

“Last year, I contacted another person listed on 2CarShare.com who lives in the same village as me.  We spoke on the phone and decided to give car sharing a try.  A year later we are still car sharing 4 days per week.  Not only have we been successful in car sharing together but I have also found a new friend in Mike and his family.”
