The Communitaxi Scheme is a partnership between Warwick District Council and Racing Club Warwick to provide transport to eligible residents in rural areas and those who have mobility problems.
Eligible residents will be entitled to 20 journeys per year at 55p per mile. After that journeys will be £1.05 per mile depending on availability.
Journeys may be made to anywhere in Warwickshire, including Coventry.
The service operates 7 days a week and bookings may be made up to 1 week in advance. A minimum of 24 hours notice is required to book a journey although every effort will be made to give assistance in the case of an emergency.
Previous Travel Token Holders will be eligible for the Communitaxi Scheme.
