                                            Wrington Car Club
                 here now - no deposit, no membership fees, no hassle!!

Wrington Parish Council is working in partnership with Dragonflyer Mobility Ltd, to provide its village car club which launched in Wrington, 11.45am at the Memorial Hall on 25th October.

Joining a car club instead of buying your own second or third car

               * reduces the number of cars parked around the area;
               * reduces unnecessary journeys and associated emissions and
               * eliminates the hassle of servicing, insurance and road tax.

Members get to drive new, fuel efficient cars and save up to £1,500 per year depending on how they use their vehicles (source: Carplus).

The Parish Council is keen to encourage as much participation in the scheme as possible. Leaflets describing the scheme and giving more details about how to get involved are being printed and will be available at outlets around the Parish and from the Parish Office in the John Locke Room.

Members of the club reserve a car in advance in multiples of one hour and pay for time booked.

Charges start from a fantastic £3 per hour. See the Dragonflyer website at           
                                       www.dragonflyermobility.co.uk/car_club_prices.html

Members book online in advance of when they need the car.

At the booked time, they pick up the key in return for their membership card and collect the car from its designated parking space which will be in the Memorial Hall Car Park. Fill in the usage log before and after use and then return the car and key when you’re finished.

Charges for the month will be calculated by Dragonflyer using the electronic booking system and invoiced to each member. You will therefore pay just one cheque per month to Dragonflyer Mobility however many times you’ve used the car.

To become a member we will need:

     1. To inspect (against insurance requirements) and take a copy of your driving license
          which will be held on file.

     2. To know you have read a copy of the membership terms and conditions

     3. To receive a signed driver declaration form

     4. To receive a passport photo (digital or traditional)

     5. To issue a photo ID car club membership card

     6. To set you up on the internet car booking system (you will need a valid e-mail address)

     Go to http://www.dragonflyermobility.co.uk/become_a_member.html for full details
     and to download the necessary forms.

Membership costs nothing and is best done at the earliest opportunity as processing takes about 5 days allowing for postal delays and inspection of the driving license. We can process applications before the launch

To be eligible to join, members must have at least one year's driving experience; be aged between 21 and 75 and meet typical car insurance requirements. Just call Steve on 07771 583860 to discuss membership criteria.

When the membership process is complete you can book and use the car any time you want, 24x7.
