Better driving
Greener driving - save money and reduce your C02 emissions
Plan your journey
Avoid wasting fuel by getting lost or having to take detours for road works or closures. Plan your route in advance using an online journey planner like AA route planner.
Drive less
Consider whether you need to make your journey by car. Alternatives such as cycling or park and ride are often quicker and more convenient options, particularly when travelling around town.
If driving is your only option, think about saving money by finding someone to car share with.
Car clubs
Pay as you go cars are now available in Shrewsbury, Bishop's Castle and Ludlow. Join Co-Wheels Shropshire to access these cars which allow you to drive when you need to without the additional costs of owning a car. Find out more.
