• Drivers are provided with ID badges and Ready Reckoners to calculate charges
• A record is kept by Door2Door of all journeys undertaken, mileage and charges made
• Clients can book trips to any social occasions such community clubs, support groups, shopping, leisure activities or visiting friends and family, Church, hairdressers etc
