Ride Sharing

The Club encourages members to share transportation from the meeting point to the outing start location. In recognition that drivers incur gas and maintenance costs by using their vehicles, passengers are encouraged to make a donation to their driver. The table below shows the suggested amount that each passenger should donate to the driver for popular outing destinations.

Data to support calculations is collected from reputable organizations such as the CAA.
