lift share

[chelseagreen]

is there a site that offers lifts to people, for example if a lorry driver is going to ireland with a spare seat he can offer it to a traveller?

As a former 'trade-plater', who spent two and a half years hitching lifts, five days per week, I can tell you that the vast majority of lorry drivers won't give you lifts because it invalidates the vehicle's insurance if they carry anyone other than a company employee.

However, there are plenty of lift-sharing websites available:

http://www.liftshare.org/

http://www.nationalcarshare.co.uk/

http://www.freewheelers.com/

(For plenty more, just put 'lift share' into Google).
