The Felixstowe Community Car Service is open to
anyone to make journeys for which no private car
or suitable public transport is available.

Eligible journeys include travel:
• for medical purposes (doctors, dentists, opticians etc)
• to hospital (visiting and appointments)
• to and from day care centres
• for shopping and other domestic purposes
• to friends and relatives
• to link in with public transport

Community cars: These may be provided by volunteers who drive their own cars on a nonprofit making basis who are paid running costs only.

Disabled passengers: Felixstowe Community Car Service can carry disabled passengers in multi purpose vehicles owned by FACTS. These vehicles can carry one wheelchair and up to three additional passengers depending on the vehicle used.

Fares: Each passenger pays a set mileage rate to the driver at the time of their journey. A grant is provided by Suffolk County Council to subsidise travel costs.

To arrange travel: Call 01394 282 857 between 0930 and 1300. If the office is not
manned an answer phone service will be in operation. Leave your name, address & telephone number together with the journey details and a member of staff will call you back. Travel is dependent upon volunteer drivers being available.
