Rampton Car Care

Call us on 01954 204481.  We are happy to help with medical trips i.e. hospital, medical, dental and optical appointments. We are unable to help with any other trips such as social or shopping trips.  Trips can be booked weeks in advance, but please try to give four working days notice of the trip. In exceptional circumstances, we will try to arrange a trip at shorter notice but there is a risk we will be unable to find a driver.  An additional passenger can usually be included at no extra charge.

One of our co-ordinators will ask for the following details:

• Name
• Telephone number (mobile & home)
• Your address
• Destination (including postcode if you know it)
• Pick-up and return times
• Purpose of the trip. Trips are available for medical, dental and optical appointments. We are unable to help with social or shopping trips.
• Information that may be needed in case of emergency
• Any special needs such as requiring help getting to and from the car, stowing of mobility aids. Please tell our co-ordinator if you want to take a walker or folding wheelchair with you. We regret we are unable to accommodate motorised wheelchairs or buggies.

Trips are charged at 30p per mile with a minimum charge of £3.00.

Trips to Addenbrooke's, the Rosie or the Royal Papworth hospitals are capped at £8.00. 

If a visit is estimated to be over three hours then two round trips may be required at double cost.

From 1st October 2023, the third and any subsequent trips in a quarter (Oct-Dec, Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sept) will be free of charge as expenses for volunteer drivers will be covered by the Rampton ’77 Committee via the CarCare co-ordinators. From 1st January 2024 all passenger costs for CarCare journeys will be funded by the '77 Committee.
