Although the majority of our clients are in their later years, we do not restrict ourselves to that age group.
We offer transport to everyone who cannot use or doesn’t have access to Public Transport.
Currently due to driver shortage, we only take clients to medical appointments (hospitals, doctor, dental, optician).
Our drivers use their own cars and expect to wait for up to two hours and then take you home.
We need two working days notice in order to find you a driver.
We do our best, but we cannot guarantee to find a driver. The person being carried must live in the SP8 postal area.
Because our drivers use their own cars, you must be able to get in and out of a normal family car. We cannot carry you in your wheelchair or carry your own personal wheelchair.
The driver’s responsibility ends when you reach your destination. If you need help at the other end you should take someone with you.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
