From 1st April 2024, you will be charged £2.00 per booking, charged when we confirm a driver for you.
PLEASE NOTE:
This is NOT a taxi service. This should NOT replace using a taxi service, in fact it is intended that our members with lower confidence will grow their confidence to start using existing taxi services. Please do not call this service a taxi service because it is nothing like a taxi service, in fact it is closer to a befriending service.
Members could use the service for the following and more reasons:
-
Shopping
-
Hospital visiting
-
Health appointments
-
Social groups
-
Visiting friends and family
If you anticipate to have luggage, you must register this at the point of booking as this may affect the driver we can use due to safe luggage storage areas of cars.
We cannot transport wheelchairs with this service, however we do have accessible minibuses to help if you use a wheelchair.
