Shaftesbury Car Link (SCL)

Shaftesbury Car Link provides transport for passengers who have difficulty accessing public transport, for whatever reason. Medical, shopping and social visits.  Weekends are for pre-booked medical trips only.

 

Who it's for

There is no age limit. 

Clients need to be registered with SCL before they can use its services.  This involves completion of a registration form, usually by telephone.  Clients will receive a 'pack' which includes business/appointment cards, a fridge magnet and terms and conditions.  To help with administration costs, we ask clients to contribute a one-off registration fee of £5 which is paid direct to the driver on the first trip.
