The safety of our members is a priority for liftshare, and we have made all of our web-sites as secure as we can. All members' details are stored securely in the database which fully complies with the Data Protection Act and only the members’ intended travel information can be accessed on-line.

When it comes to travelling, every member is responsible for his or her own safety. However liftshare do recommend that members follow some simple security measures outlined below:

Carsharenorfolk.com is powered by award-winning liftshare.com software.

• Avoid exchanging home addresses with your travelling companion before you meet them.
• Arrange to meet in a public place.
• Inform a friend or family member of who you will be travelling with, when and to where.
• Make sure you show each other your ID’s - passports, student cards or driving licences - so you know you're travelling with the right person.
• You are under no obligation to go ahead with any liftshare. If you have any doubts about your travelling companion, for any reason, you should avoid travelling with them.
• If you have any problems please call liftshare immediately on 08700 11 11 99 and we will endeavour to help in any way that we can.

For more information about safety and security of personal information please read Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy.

Will my e-mail address be visible to other users?
No, your e-mail address is kept hidden at all times. The only information that is visible to other users is your 'usually called' name, your smoking preference, your age range, your gender and the journey details you added. No last name, telephone number or home postcode is ever shown to a third party.

What are the insurance implications of liftsharing?
"Participating in the liftshare scheme will not invalidate drivers' motor insurance", says Vic Rance of the Association of British Insurers.
"Drivers in doubt should contact their insurers".
Sharing cars and sharing the cost should not increase your insurance costs, though charging passengers more than their share of the running cost can invalidate your cover.
If you would like to contact your insurance company, please feel free to use our Draft Letter.
