Book through us and we will help to reduce the cost of your journey – money, time and carbon.
Money: If we can find you an opportunity to share a vehicle or fill an empty return journey, you will get to save money. We do use very good, reliable service providers, so this is not about finding the cheapest service providers in the market.
Time: Our unified booking application gives you access to a massive group of ground transport suppliers, improving responsiveness to your needs. By using vehicles better, congestion is reduced which will help you get to where you need quicker also.
Carbon: By sharing, taking a shuttle service or filling empty journeys, your carbon footprint will be lowered.
Next time you’re at the airport or walking around town, look at how many empty vehicles there are; when you’re in a queue at an airport or train station, ask yourself why so many people get into their own cabs. This costs you money and is terrible for the environment as well as causing needless congestion.
Sharing taxis and minicabs or using a shuttle bus service is an easy way for you to help reduce the impact of carbon on the environment. We have built some smart things into our application that will automatically link you up with other sharing opportunities that are close to matching what your own travel needs are.
Use Facebook and Twitter to connect with people that you know. This will help you to share with people who are your friends, such as if you want to share a cab to a concert.
It isn’t just passenger trips that are inefficient, but freight trips too. Road freight is empty up to 30% of the time. If you wish to load share or fill an empty return journey for freight or coach bookings, click here.

Heathrow and Gatwick Express have launched the first ever environmentally friendly door-to-door service to and from the airport with Carbon Voyage. Travellers can be picked up from either their home or office in a Carbon Voyage car and travel to Paddington or Victoria Stations where they will board the express train to Heathrow or Gatwick Airports.
This new integrated service means customers will only need to make one booking, which will automatically combine the vehicle and train ticket. Train tickets will be sent electronically to the customers, saving postage and paper.
