Community Link are the booking agents for the Waimate Community Vehicle Trust.

The community vehicle operates around town Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm.

The cars are used to transport people around the Waimate area for shopping, appointments, to work, and visiting among the many uses. Cars also go to Timaru and Oamaru for appointments. And we  go to Timaru Airport. For these out of town trips, we like where possible 72 hours’ notice so we can organise a driver.

Transport in the Community Vehicles is available to all ages and we have approved child seats that you can request when you phone.

Our fares are kept low, currently it is $8.00 within the urban area per person per trip, the prices increase the further from town you are. Timaru and Oamaru are $50, and we are registered to carry Total Mobility clients.

Provided we have some notice and a driver is available, some of the services outside normal hours are – pick up from the Intercity Bus, early appointments at the Hospital and Timaru Airport to coincide with flight times.

Do you have a transport problem? Why don’t you ask us, we may be able to help?

Please do not ask to travel if you have (or recently had) cold or flu like symptoms such as cough, runny nose or fever
