So get yourself down to Dorset to see some amazing beaches and also the home of the giants from millions of years ago.

How to Use SKOOT for your holiday destination this summer?
Well, it goes without saying that we probably won’t be flying anywhere this summer. So driving to domestic destinations is what we’ll have to settle for. Staycation it might be, but this country sure offers a mixture of sensational holiday options that aren’t to be missed.
When it comes to the driving logistics, there’s always that one looming discussion that nobody wants to have. It’s talking petrol money – one of the most awkward conversations to have.
With SKOOT, we take that all away! Simply log your trip into the SKOOT App, plug in your start and finish locations, set the price and drive your way down. When the journey is complete, SKOOT automatically splits the cost between the passengers and pays the driver.
Oh yeah, we nearly forgot (no we didn’t), it’s completely carbon-negative too. We plant a tree for every three rides, making you 110% carbon-negative! So what are you waiting for, download SKOOT using the link below!
