SACT Electric Car Club which is operated by SA Community Transport is now in its eighth month of operation.
Thanks to funding from SP Energy Network’s Green Economy Fund, Paths for All and Switched on Vehicles funding, the Car Club has been enabling people in Ayr and in Girvan to get out and about to medical appointments, job interviews, shopping, befriending visits and just to have a good day out at extremely low cost without damaging the environment. Car hire starts from £2.50 per hour or £20.00 per day. It is a membership organisation, but membership is not restricted to individuals – if your community organisation or charity would like to join, it can! For a small joining fee, your organisation can have up to 10 drivers registered to drive and we cover the insurance.
The cars are a delight to drive and everyone who has hired the cars has had a really positive experience as the quotes below show:
“I would just like to thank you for the fantastic service provided by you when hiring the electric car through SACT.”
“The car was of a very high standard and being electric it supports my aim of helping to protect the environment.”
“The service it provides to the local community should be well received as it is both affordable and easily accessible… I had a great experience and will recommend electric cars and this service to my friends and workmates.”
“Our day out cost £29.85 in total. It would have cost a lot more in fuel driving my own car to Edinburgh and it’s also much less than the train or bus fares.”
We are also proud to be helping local cancer care charities with transport during this time of national crisis.
