About Caithness Rural Transport
Caithness Rural Transport was set up in 1999, and we are now on our 26th year of providing a community transport door-to-door service to Caithness. We only operate in Caithness and we have 4 paid drivers along with our amazing volunteers. We currently have 260 members, and in 2024, we moved 9,077 passengers, covering 93,294 miles.
Did you know that community groups can also hire our mini buses for use across Scotland, and in 2024, our buses were hired a total of 199 times to cover 17,715 miles.
What Service Do We Provide?
Caithness Rural Transport provides a 7 days a week service that is designed for people living in rural areas, regardless of age, and our town service is open to elderly and disabled people. The service can be used for shopping, visiting friends, social functions, medical appointments etc. The driver will be there to assist you with the steps or wheelchair access to the vehicle and all our drivers are Midas (Minibus Driver Awareness) trained.
Our Vehicles
We have wheelchair adapted vehicles based in Wick, Thurso, Halkirk and Dunbeath, as well as a 10, 12, 13 and 16 seat minibuses also adapted, which are available for hire to community groups.
Our fleet consists of a mixture of diesel and fully electric mini buses and these undergo a safety inspection every 10 weeks.
Our Rates
We charge an annual membership fee of £15 or £5 for a short term fee and a mileage charge per person per journey is applied.
For each journey we charge £3.00 for the first mile, £4.00 for the 2nd mile, then 50p per mile thereafter.
For community group hires, we charge £20 for the first 15 miles, then £1 per mile thereafter. Fuel is included within the hire price.

Keeping our fleet of vehicles roadworthy is very costly, especially because of the road conditions in Caithness. If you would like to help us continue our vital service, please make a donation below
