 Country Car Scheme:      HOW DOES IT WORK?

Anyone eligible to use this service contacts the local organiser and gives details of the transport required. Twenty-four hours notice is essential except in emergencies. If the trip is eligible the local organiser will ask one of the voluteer drivers to help. The driver then operates the trip noting the total mileage. The passenger makes a contribution of between 25 and 30 pence a mile based upon the mileage travelled and receives a receipt from the driver. When there are two or more passengers this contribution will be split equally between those travelling. Remember this service is run entirely by volunteers.

ELIGIBILITY TO USE THIS SERVICE

If you are not fit enough to use public transport or have no other means of transport you are eligible to use this service:

• 1. To visit your doctor, dentist, optician, clinic or chiropodist
• 2. To visit friends or relatives in hospital. (Remember you need to use the hospital car service for hospital appointments).
• 3. To collect prescriptions.
• 4. To connect with bus, coach or rail services.
• 5. For any other essential trips for which there is no reasonable alternative means of transport.
• Every effort will be made to assist you although it may not always be possible to provide transport for every journey requested.

This service is supported by Dorset County Council.
