Community Cars

What does it do?

Community Cars is a voluntary car scheme which helps the elderly and those living in the Bournemouth area who are unable to use public transport, but still need to make essential journeys. Volunteer drivers, using their own cars, offer a door to door service for members to help them access much needed services.

What it costs:

There is a annual membership charge of £6 and mileage is charged at 55p per mile (minimum return fare £4). Mileage is charged from the driver's home but Community Cars will try to match a driver who lives close to the service user.
