TARC

Car payment. Insurance. Gas. Repairs. Maintenance. Parking. Your car doesn't just cost money when you buy it. It takes money out of your pocket every single month.

Think about what that money could do for your family instead. Groceries. Childcare. Rent. Savings. A little breathing room.

Calculate what driving is costing you. Then start saving with TARC.

💰 More money for your family. Less money spent on your car. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🚌

Gas, car payments, insurance and repairs take a big bite out of your family’s budget. What if you could keep more of that money for groceries, family outings, savings and the things that matter most?

Louisville households could save up to $11,963 a year by choosing TARC instead of owning and operating a new car!

That’s money that could go toward your family’s future instead of your car’s next repair bill.

Let TARC drive. Keep more money where it belongs: with your family. ❤️
