Benefits of Being a Member

To access our services you must first join as a member then you will be automatically eligible to call our trained telephonists during our opening hours and request transportation for your medical appointment, shopping trip or social visit. We usually request a minimum of 48hrs notice before your journey as our drivers are voluntary and it helps them to have this notice period.

If you contact the Car Sharing Scheme and there is no answer, please leave a message on our answerphone with your name, phone number and a short message, and we will call you back as soon as we are able to do so.

Member Testimonials
"The Speyside Community Car Sharing Scheme is an excellent scheme used by many people. I have been using it for many years and am I greatly indebted to those who do the organising and also the helpful and caring drivers.  Nothing is too much trouble for those people."

"The Speyside Community Car Sharing Scheme is something to be praised. The drivers and the organisers are very helpful in every way and do their best to arrange drivers for appointments and shopping trips. Thanks to all concerned."

"Where would I be without you? I would be stuck at home, could not afford taxis everywhere and public transport would not be suitable as I am disabled with only one leg and a wheelchair. I use Car Sharing Scheme for appointments to Dr Gray's in Elgin also ARI, Aberdeen. The drivers are excellent, courteous, very friendly and helpful. I also use The Scheme to go shopping in Elgin, the garden centre and other places. Altogether a very useful service."
 
"I have been using the Car Sharing Scheme for a few years now, and am so glad of it. The Coordinators and Drivers are friendly, but not intrusive, and I never feel rushed. I use The Scheme mostly for shopping, but for doctor and hospital appointments too. This eases a lot of anxiety about getting there on time because we have a bus only on two mornings a week, leaving Elgin for home at 1320hrs which is not always handy. Thank you Car Share for this; for me it is an essential service."
 
"I have been using the Car Sharing Scheme for abot 10 years now and find that it is very helpful for getting to medical appointments etc.
I would recommend anyone, who is eligible, to join as it really is a useful service and the drivers are all very friendly."


"I would like to say how delighted I am with the service provided by the volunteers for the Speyside Community Car Sharing Scheme. We are very lucky to have such a facility in the area and I will not hesitate to recommend you in the future but will also volunteer when I am able to. We are so very fortunate to have the car sharing scheme in our area, I know that the volunteers give up so much of their free time to transport people to appointments which they otherwise might not be able to attend. Once again, Many thanks."
