Welcome to the Llani Car Club CIC
website.
Llani Car Club first hit the
road in July 2007 with 4 members and an old comfortable Peugeot 405 Estate.
As well as 2 petrol cars, a Renault Clio and Nissan Note we now have a brand new Renault Zoe,
our first electric vehicle with a range of 186 miles.
The beauty of a car club is
that you get to share the cost of the overheads and can avoid having to buy a
second car. For those who are even braver, you can ditch your only car, but we
recommend you use the car club car for a while before you do that.
Currently we have 20 members,
6 of whom do not have a car in their household and rely on the club for their
motorised transport when other forms of transport don’t meet their needs. Here in Llanidloes we do have bus services passing
through to and from Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury and heading south to Llandrindod
Wells, but they are every 2 hours and not on a Sunday. Our nearest train station is Caersws and the
Shrewsbury bus only connects with a few of the trains. The car club helps
people to fill the gaps while still using public transport, without the need to
own a car.
What does it cost to
join and use the car club cars?
There is an annual membership
fee of £30 and you will also need to pay a deposit of £150 which is a
refundable when you leave. The cost using a car is 23p per mile and £1 per hour.
The hourly rate is capped at £18 per 24 hour period. For example, if you drive 100 miles and have
the car for 1.5 days you will be charged £23 (100 miles) + £18 (1 day) + £12 (half
a day) = £53. The cost includes petrol, the
cost of any fuel you need to purchase will be credited to your account
providing a receipt is given. Bills are
emailed at the beginning of the following month.
Please note due to the terms
of our insurance, we cannot accept anyone who has had a drink-driving conviction.
