Quick, easy, and free to get started
Add drivers and passengers as you go. No need to spend hours getting started
An extensive selection of tools to help you find drivers, keep on top of finances, and make the day-to-day running of your scheme more manageable.
By choosing drivers who are closer to passengers, you can do your bit for the environment, as they use less fuel completing the trip.
Use Via to generate reports providing a visualisation of your scheme:
The last thing we want to do is get in the way of you running your scheme. That's why you can set up your scheme with as many coordinators and drivers as you need, without having to worry about sharing account details, or increased fees.
Lots of easy to use tools for keeping track of insurance, availability, DBS status, as well as general information and private & public notes.
Keep ontop of your financial reports and driver reimbursement: Select the report type you want to make, then select the date range. It's that easy.
Reduce no-shows with optional automated email messages for drivers and passengers.
If a problem arises then 24/7 support is at hand. Everyone has access to support pages, help documents, FAQs, and help request tickets.
Transparent pricing (and a free option) means no charges for surprise journey changes or cancellations
Your scheme might not have changed but its legal obligations under the GDPR have. Via helps you to satisfy your GDPR obligations and uses government grade security solutions to help you to keep your data safe and secure.
Via is built to be as convenient as possible. Only ever type in data once as the system begins to helpfully predict what you want as you type.
Via has an inbuilt driver-finder, which can be used to help you identify available drivers and to quickly and easily send journey request emails.
Instantly view reports and graphs summarising your scheme's activity and performance over a given timeframe or area.
As cuts to public services deepen, people who don’t drive are increasingly struggling to reach essential services and even to do routine activities such as the weekly food shop. This is especially true if they are elderly, disabled, or one of the 12.7 million people living in rural areas in the UK, where bus services are often minimal or non-existent.
Many communities benefit from having a local volunteer car scheme. These schemes provide a vital yet affordable transport service for people that would otherwise struggle to live independently. However, running them requires commitment and hard work – managing bookings, working out times and costs, or making sure that the finances and paperwork are up to date. Organisers are also responsible for the safety and welfare of drivers and passengers.
That’s why we’ve developed Via: a web application that does the hard work for you. Whether you are already running a scheme, or considering setting one up, Via lets you manage all aspects of your scheme through a simple, user–friendly dashboard. You can use Via on a desktop or tablet – helping you to handle things quickly and easily, even when it’s you who’s on the road.
Getting started with Via is completely free for smaller community car schemes, with a free trial available for any first-time user. There are no hidden catches and we provide on-line technical support when you need it. It takes just a few clicks to sign up.
