Why Car Share?
Let’s break it down:
Save on fuel (more cash for merch and beers)
Be eco-friendly – fewer cars, less congestion on that narrow mountain pass- Make new festival mates before you even pitch your tent
Navigate the route together (two heads are better than one when the satnav throws a wobbly)

Road Safety & Etiquette
Let’s not be muppets, alright?
- Stick to official signage once you’re close – the mountain has no time for lost souls
- Take it slow on the final ascent – it's steep, twisty, and full of fellow festival-goers
- Respect your car share driver/passengers – good vibes only, no backseat banshees
