The Newbury Volunteer Driver and Car Scheme provide transportation for people who find it difficult to use public transport. This may be because you are elderly, but we also provide a service to permanently or temporarily disabled people and to children and families.

We offer the service for regular journeys – going to clubs or out-patient treatment, for example – and also for one-off visits such as to the doctor’s surgery or shops.

How much does it cost?

We request that you pay a mileage-related contribution to reimburse the driver for his petrol and running costs. The drivers do not receive any payment for their time which is donated voluntarily. Local journeys are £8, other destination costs will be discussed at the time of your booking.
