Service Information
Our service operates Monday-Friday from any address in Manawatū District, to Feilding, and back again. Advanced booking is essential. Our van has 11 passenger seats and a luggage trailer to transport mobility aids, personal items, and any purchases made in Feilding such as groceries.
Our route is calculated each day based on the bookings received, so travel time and arrival in Feilding will vary for each trip. Pick-up times will vary but will be between 8-11 am. Return home will be between 2-5 pm. Your pick-up time will be confirmed by email or text the day before your travel.
The primary drop-off location is the Manawatū Community Hub Library, but if you need to go to a specific location in Feilding (such as a supermarket, the health centre, a pharmacy, or otherwise), this can be accommodated. Please note any specific locations you need to visit when you place your booking. If you have an appointment with a fixed time, we’ll do our best to accommodate this as well.
We don’t offer a service to Palmerston North, but we can connect you to other transport services as needed, such as the St John Health Shuttle, the Feilding-Palmerston North bus service, or the Feilding Orbiter. Please include your requests at the time of booking.
Please be aware that you’ll share your journey with other residents with various appointments and needs. It is our priority to ensure everyone’s needs are met on each trip.
Pricing
Zone 1: $10 return
Zone 2: $25 return
Zone 3: $30 return
We are a return-service and fares are priced to be as affordable as possible. If you only need transport one-way for some reason, your fare will be the same. This is to cover our administrative costs and the effective empty seat that we will be unable to provide to another customer.
Payment
Payment is by credit card or bank deposit. If you can’t pay with either of these methods for any reason, please make your booking over the phone and our coordinator will make arrangements with you.
Travel as a group and save
Up to four people can travel from the same pick-up address and pay only one fare. Please include the number of passengers when booking.
We are not able to facilitate splitting the fare – please make payment at the time of booking and arrange for reimbursement from your group independently.
To amend an existing booking, please phone or email our service coordinator. Amendments can’t be guaranteed and will be based on availability. If your booking change can’t be amended, you will be able to transfer your booking to another day.
Regular trips
If you’d like to book a regular trip (e.g. every week on the same day, fortnightly, or once a month) please email or call our service coordinator. Regular trips must be managed manually, and an automated payment will be set up.
Seasonal & special services
From time to time we will run seasonal promotions or special services – such as school holiday services, excursions, or Christmas shopping trips. Please see our Seasonal & special services page for details.
Rent our van
In future, our van will be available for rent to community groups and schools at weekends. Please contact us if you would be interested in this service, so we can notify you in due course.
