How it works
Surreycarshare.com users register details of their journey and are provided with email addresses of people who travel the same route. Where a match cannot be found within an organisation, a dedicated surreycarshare.com co-ordinator can make introductions with staff of other organisations in the scheme. Users are able to list their travel and personal requirements when they register, including for example a smoking or non-smoking and male or female share.
