Scooter hire and Bicycle scheme
For County Durham residents who find accessing available transport a real struggle
We are a charity that offers personal transport to people who find it difficult to get to, or sustain, employment, volunteering or further education opportunities because of a lack of available transport options.
​
Our Scooter and Bicycle services are for County Durham residents only. We classify County Durham residents as people from a household who pay their Council Tax to Durham County Council.
If your Council Tax is paid to a different Local Authority area, you will need to look for a similar service there.
How much does it cost?
​
The cost for the guaranteed initial 6 months is either
​
£40 per week
£173 calendar monthly (Example - 25th of each month)
​
You will be required to pay an upfront payment of the first months loan fees (£173.00) . The loan also covers insurance (scooter only), tax, breakdown cover as well as servicing of the scooter.
​
The insurance does not cover you for personal injury and you have to be prepared and able to pay a maximum of £250 in the event of each accident, damage or theft of the scooter.
