Moray Carshare

Moray Carshare has now ceased operations.

Due to being financially unsustainable, the Board of Trustees have determined that Moray Carshare will be wound up as a solvent Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, subject to Member and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator approval. If you have any questions, please call our office on 01309 720 120 or email manager@moraycarshare.org.uk.

How it works - 3 simple steps



Book

Use your smartphone or computer to book one of our cars or e-bikes located in Forres, Findhorn, Kinloss, Aberlour and Craigellachie.



Drive

Fetch the car from its reserved parking bay, drive wherever you need to go, then return the car to the same place.



Pay

We email you a bill at the end of each month based on how many hours and miles you have driven.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note that due to a lack of financial sustainability, Moray Carshare will only be operating our Car Sharing services up to and including 30 September 2024 and our E-Bike sharing services up to and including 15th of September 2024.

Liam & Bryony: “We have found Moray Carshare to be a great way to avoid the financial and environmental effects of keeping more than 1 car. As a family we need one car, but only need a second one once or twice a week so the car club is perfect for that. It’s also great to have the option of using electric vehicles to further reduce our carbon footprint, and also to have the use of a larger towing vehicle when needed.”

Andre: “I am retired and really didn’t need a car every day so, a couple of years ago, when I sold my last car, I decided to try Moray Carshare. It was definitely the right decision and my experience of the car club has been a very good one. Whenever I need a car, even at short notice, I can book one within walking distance.”

Why Join a Car Club?



Affordable

Joining a car club can save you over £1,000 a year! The car club pays for insurance, depreciation, repairs etc. You only pay for what you use!



Convenient

Avoid all the hassle of owning, maintaining and parking your own car! We have 15 cars and 14 e-bikes spread across Forres, Findhorn, Kinloss and Aberlour.



Eco-friendly

1/3 of our fleet is electric and all the other cars are chosen for their low emissions.

Tessa: “I really don’t need a car very often, so I don’t want to waste the money on having my own – with all the hassle of insurance, MOT and repairs. I also love that Moray Carshare has electric cars that are not putting any CO2 into the atmosphere, so I can do my bit to reduce global warming.”

Nick: “I joined Moray Carshare because I wanted to save money and save the planet. At that time I didn’t need a car to go to work: some weeks I wouldn’t use a car at all, other weeks I used one on most days. Moray Carshare gives me that flexibility – because you only pay for what you use.”

We choose vehicles and design our services so we minimise our impact on the natural environment, while still meeting the needs of the individual.

Strengthening Community

Sharing resources implicitly encourages connection and cooperation. We design our services to include a diverse range of people, e.g. through affordable pricing and providing child seats.

Ethical Business

We are a member-controlled charity (SCIO) and all profits go back into providing new or improved services. Our guiding principles are effectiveness, fairness and transparency.
