Bassetlaw Community Car Scheme Plus

If you want to get out and about but have difficulty using public transport, then Car Scheme Plus could be the answer.

Our new Electric Nissan Acenta has been fully adapted for wheelchair users and offers a door to door service for people of all ages.

For an affordable fare you can travel in safety and comfort to make those important appointments, get to work or simply socialise with friends.

The vehicle is able to carry a fixed wheelchair and up to 3 passengers.

Who can use Car Scheme Plus?

• People living in Bassetlaw who are registered with Car Scheme Plus through Bassetlaw Action Centre
• People who are unable to use public transport due to mobility difficulties
• Anyone who does not have access to a local public transport service

What can it be used for?

We can arrange transport for most purposes including shopping; travelling to work; going for a meal; access to local services or support groups; GP appointments; visiting friends or family.

Where can I go?

The service operates in and around the Bassetlaw area, but occasionally can go further afield. Please ask for details.

How do I pay?

The charge for a journey is 45p per mile for each mile that the driver travels plus a non refundable administration fee of £2.50 per journey taken on confirmation of the booking. Cash payment for the journey is made to your driver who will issue you with a receipt on completion of the journey. Alternative arrangements for payment by invoice can be made available on request.

How do I join/book a journey?

You must register with Car Scheme Plus at Bassetlaw Action Centre to be eligible to use this service. There is currently a £25 fee to register for a year or £8 for 1 month.

What if I have to cancel my journey?

Please contact us as soon as possible. We reserve the right to charge a cancellation/no-show fee.

Car Scheme Plus is a non-profit making service that is available to local residents who are registered to the Car Scheme Plus scheme through Bassetlaw Action Centre, to travel around the Bassetlaw area. Requests will also be considered for travel further afield.

Bassetlaw Action Centre is a charitable organisation and non-profit making. The mileage charge is calculated to cover the costs of fuel, insurance, servicing, training and administration costs.
