What's covoiturage?

Well, let's start by saying that COVOITURAGE is french for CAR SHARING.

Have you seen the train and bus prices? It's crazy how expensive they can be! But, if you're on a budget and you want to travel low cost, you can always share a ride with someone.

How this works?

Imagine you live in some city in the north of France and you want to get to Paris, for example. You just have to sign on one of these websites and look for someone who has a car and who goes from your city to your final destination.

Then, depending on the company, you have to pay on the site, or when you get to your final destination.

When you have everything settle, you just go to the meeting point and that's it, you're ready!

These are some websites where you can find someone to share a ride with.

To sum up, reasons why you should do it:

1. It's usually way more cheaper than trains and buses.

2. Usually is faster than trains and buses because cars uses the highway.

3. You don't get bored as you get to know people and talk while traveling.

4. It's ecological
