New Insurance Cover Removes Barrier for Community Car Clubs

The Community Transport Association (CTA), working closely with our Insurance Partners Business Choice Direct (BCD), is delighted to announce the launch of a new insurance offer designed specifically for Community Car Clubs.

 

This wouldn’t have been possible without the support and collaboration of our partners and sector colleagues: Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK), The Scottish Rural & Islands Transport Community (SRITC) CIC, Edge Innovation Ltd, Derwent Valley Car Club and the Blackhall Mill Community Association.

Supporting Safer Journeys: Coalfield Community Transport’s experience with CTA’s Insurance Partners

Coalfield Community Transport, an independent charity in East Ayrshire, has grown from a small volunteer-led initiative to operating a fleet of 22 vehicles serving local residents. But in recent years, soaring insurance costs and poor service from brokers became a major challenge.
